Wrong Brakehoses?
Is this the correct brakehose for a 84-carrera???
The right connector doesnt seem to match the one on the old line.  Connectors on the car!   Best Regards Patrick Hansson

Patrick,
What are you basing your doubt upon? Although looks can be deceiving, they "look" correct to me. Have you pulled the old lines out yet, or are you basing your question on how things appear? In the top photo, the right side of the new hose should connect to the upper most connector in the lower photo. Break free the top connector and attache the new hose to allow brake fluid to fill the hose, and then plug. Break the lower portion free and connect the free end of the new hose. This should reduce the amount of air you introduc into your system. Repeat, and bleed brakes. HTH...

The reason i asked is because i dont want to dismantle the brakes and then find that the new hoses doesn´t fit. This is my first brakejob on a 911. I am to lay an order of some parts form a dealer here in sweden, and if they were incorrect i would have exchanged them at the same time.. But it seems like i have the correct hoses after all.!!! Thanks //Patrick

To reduce fluid loss from the system, depress and hold the brake pedal about 1/2 way to the floor. Use a prop rod for this purpose. This moves the master cylinder piston into position to block the fill port in the reservoir.

These are the hoses out of my 88 if that is any help.
Looks like that fitting on the right of your picture and the left on mine are slightly different but the vendor must have a plan.  Edit: Is there a slot for the U shaped spring in the upper bracket? Will it fit through the hole?
