Front and rear PTFB GT suspension (springs), new gas tank and sender, new lower arms and new tubular upper arms with the longer PTFB ball joints. Koni shocks all around. PTFB aluminum solid body bushings. Alignment and shims this morning. Trying to ready it up for FirebirdFest 4 in a week. Still have a few things I want to do to it before the trip.

Rear Brake saga continues. I got a set of 'rebuilt' calipers (not cheap) but they are basically the same thing as I bought from firebird central. They are NOT originals rebuilt but a replacement. I still have the same problem, getting the line attached to the caliper itself. After getting some pictures in another thread from a kind member here I can finally see the problem. There is as described in the service manual a 'block' that attaches to the caliper with a banjo bolt that the brake line threads into. THIS is the part I am missing. SO, I started to think about it and I can vividly remember tearing my original caliper apart and refinishing it, I even bought a rebuild kit. I found the rebuild kit but no idea where the caliper is after an exhaustive search. I figure, 'hey, I might have made a post about rebuilding the caliper

'. I went back to page one of this thread and BAZINGA, right there on page 2, dated June 16, 2021 is pictures of the rear caliper before and after a cleanup. NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TEAR MY SHOP APART TO FIND IT. I never throw any car part away, I cant imagine I would have gotten rid of this.

Here is a screen shot of the sniper 2
It shows that it comes with a 2 bar map sensor.

So maybe it would be fine as is..??

PERFECT!! Thanks so much. The last pic shows pretty clear the 'block' that the line feeds into. The 'block' appears to be installed with a banjo bolt. That is the part I have been having a problem with. That block thingy is creating more problems for me than should be allowed. I see I dont really need new calipers, just that termination block. A couple of people have been telling me that the rear used a flex line similar to the front which I had my doubts. Thanks for confirming. I have the same lines on my rear that are new but supposed to be good repro's, which they appear to be.
