    Again, thinking about switching to stainless. From hard line that factory soft line starts to caliper. Looking to eliminate soft line and hardline at caliper using stainless extended lines. I can't mount the bracket without creating a custom bracket as spindles are bigger. Question is, is there a good way to stop fluid from leaking all over the place since I can't use a clamp being as I'm deleting the softline?

    If you haven’t got them already, I really like the solo Motorsports stainless lines. I put vacuum caps on when I could to minimize bleed.

    I'm a dunce! I totally forgot about vacuum caps...I've used the before on other brake shit. My dumb brain just over thought this apparently like there wasn't gonna be any line left to cap? Carry on, I'll think aa little more-harder next time....doh!

    Dorman sells a pack of 20 assorted sizes in vinyl. You can get them at any auto parts store. The assortment of sizes comes in super handy for all sorts of jobs.

    https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...-color-vacuum-cap-assortment-47397/89015274-P

    You get 4 of each.
