    My tech was installing the rear brakes and encountered a problem. Because of the bigger rotor size and having to relocate the parking brake, the stock parking brake line doesn't reach the parking brake caliper in the rear. It makes sense as the new rotor is larger in diameter and with the relocated parking brake, the distance parking brake line has to travel is greater now. Is there any way to gain some slack on the brake line on f430, without having to gain slack from maybe tapping into the hand brake area? Doing so would create lot of labor to remove seats and center console? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck here and can't proced on with the rest of the installation. thanks

    I'm not sure with the 430 but with the 360 you can add some more inches. If you take the under panel cover you will find a adjuster under the passenger side. Once you reach that point you can loose all the brake line to max and work from there with your needs.

    Hope this works!

    I meant the undertray panel where you can adjust the emergency brake line. It is outside the car. Once you take that out you will look under the driver side and you will see it.
    Do you want a picture from the 360?
