i thought they were different early and late. last time i ordered from paragon products, they asked me which calipers i had. now i remember, it was something about male vs. female, not the weird cupped vs. open end thing you have. strange.


To me, those look like what could be called male and female ends, so it might be the same issue.

I'm not sure... I was able to surmise that the later model calipers had male fittings sticking out of them (not sure about the flare), so the lines have female fittings on both ends. THIS is weird...

Could I have late model calipers with a male-male fitting removed out of them that should be there?

If any one else might have an idea what calipers I have, please pipe in.

Thanks

UPDATE: Pelican parts sourced their lines from Precise Lines, but were receiving them with the wrong fittings for the front lines. They're refusing to take them back since I installed the rear lines, but I'm fighting this. I either want Precise Lines to send me the correct front lines, or I wasn Pelican to take the whole set back. Only seams reasonable when it was THEIR screw up.

FYI: Paragon Products carries the correct lines and has been very helpful.

Another Update. Pelican has come through and agreed to accept the return on the lines. They have also ensured that no one else has received the faulty lines. I just ordered the correct set.
