I have the Goodridge hose set, but I'm curious if anyone has pictures of how they hooked everything up. The Goodridge set did not come with all the hardware that I guess the Fiero Store set comes with.
Can I reuse the clips that hold the hose to the upper arms in the fronts?? Or do I need to purchase them somewhere?

was the Goodridge set for a fiero?
I don't have stock brakes, but I have 8 Goodridge lines on my current brake system. (one at each corner, 4 for the interior mounted brake biasing valve)

I used to have the Fiero store set (about 10 years ago), and they came with the banjo style end on one side, and the correct fitting adapter for the factory hard lines on the other.
You had to re-use the clips and fasteners (banjo bolt, line "C"-clips, screws, etc...)

With my current setup, I had to go to my local hardware store and get some Teflon coated Adel clamps for the upper A-arm. I wouldn't use anything that can add stress or wear into the outer braiding of the line. Basically, I wouldn't use the original clamps at the front upper A-arm.

Yes its a vehicle specific kit. I'm wondering if the hold downs on the stock hoses are reusable. They look pretty beefy and I don't know if I'm going to damage the new hoses clamping those old clips on by hand.

good to know.
I would NOT re-use the original line clamps. Stainless braided lines should be held in place with a "protective coating on the clamp" type clamp.
