so im still trying to get my custom brake lines, i know the gt calipher banjo (the round metal ring thing that terminates the brake line into the calipher) is 14 mm, now im trying to figure out what the size of the female connection to the st brake line system is I have some pictures here, I put a 20mm head bolt in the female connection but I have no idea what the male connection size will have to be. Any who knows or can go look at their celica real quick (tried asking toyota dealership but the parts guy was clueless).

I'm not suprised the dealership couldn't help, you aren't very clear about what you're trying to say. I don't think you're using the right terms for the parts you're talking about.
There's the bango bolt which connects the brake hose to the caliper, and there's the connection where the brake hose connects to the brake line. Now what's your question? -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

That won't work. The reason being the GT rear discs require slightly less pressure than the ST drums... so they actually don't have that intermediate connector nor do they use the metal lines. The stock GT just has a single larger rubber line from the caliper to the connector attached to the body. The easiest solution for you... go to the junkyard and pick up some rear lines from a Toyota with rear discs. For the most part... all that I've seen are very very similar and will probably work without much hassle. If you can, ones that will surely work at any Rear Disc Celica from 86+. Other noteables are Supras, Camrys, 2 dr Corollas. If you don't mind getting them new... just order new rear disc brake lines for the 6th gen and they should be direct fits.

ya, but the gt and st calipher male and female terminal hose connections are different sizes.
Your talking about just gettting the GT calipher line from toyota at the rubber hose end fitting into the st brakeline system |
