Stainless steel brake line install?

Just starting installing this kit and noticed the front banjo bolts included with the kit are not the same thread or size as the stock one... It's from THM and it says 08+ cobalt on the bag they came in..

Are these supposed to just screw right in no problems or what?

all s/c and t/c caliper banjo bolts are the same/thread/dimension. dont use the ones that came with the kit if they are not correct. You must use new crushwashers, but verify the banjo bolts you have from your car fit correctly in the stainless lines,otherwise, dont use them if the banjo on the lines is much larger than the diameter of your existing banjo bolt. good luck.

I dont know I have not seen them, I am addressing the issues of banjo bolts being different. The Turbo Cobalt with Brembo's has a longer front brake line, so if you get the right brake line, having it longer for the supercharged cars will be okay. At Ride Height, make sure that when you turn the car's front wheel fully out, it doesnt stretch the brake line, and when you turn fully in, make sure the line doesnt rub against the wheel/tire. You will be golden if its all good.

New crushwashers every time ! lol.

Maven says and I quote, PAY ATTENTION TO THE LAST LINE!!

I put red loctite(272, etc) on all of these bolts except the bleeder screw and the bolts/banjo bolt for the brake hose. Overkill? yeah. But brakes falling off sucks. "

Does anyone know what the part# is for the stock front brake lines? I looked on gmpartsdirect.com and they do have a listing for a "flex hose", but it does not give much info like left or right.
