I am guessing the fitting is too small?

You will probably need to get that entire brakeline from a GSR. I think AutoZone sells unbent brake line for cheap, but its going to be much easier just to pull one off a junked GSR.

There isn't really a good solution. When I swapped my B18C1 into my EG....I put in the GSR master cyl. and the EG brake lines didn't fit...so I had to cut the end off the line, pull that fitting off, put a GSR fitting on, and flare the line out. Which isn't a good way to do it unless your comfortable with a flaring tool!

you should look into getting a metric adapter... i know they have them for standard sizes... i ran into this to when i swapped my master cylinder... i just went to the junkyard and cut the fitting off and then flared the line.

nope all wrong
you need to use a double flaring tool which makes the flare a double walled flare
the tool is found at pep-boys for 15.00 and is really easy to use
and also the fitting that you need is extremely hard to find
go to a junkyard and get a fitting off of a gsr or a 93-95 civic ex 4 door (i dont think that the 92 had the same ms and bb)

if you have any q's feel free to e mail me @ DirtyDan463@aol.com
