Braided stainless brake lines in front?

I am going to get rid of drums on front and 5 lug disc. I bought everything need except braided stainless lines. Do you know of any that will thread into the stock drum brake hard line and attach to the D52 front calipers without buying any conversion pieces? I know ECE sells rubber hoses but I am looking for braided.

Will 73-87 bolt right in?

Re: Braided stainless brake lines in front?

Russell Performance #672310 is what I used - they are really nice and DOT approved. I had another set of braided stainless lines from ebay that were junk (leaked) and not DOT approved. I ordered the 73-up kit. I'm using a D52 style caliper and a stock replacement hardline kit on my '69, everything fit together no problem.

But I doubt the hard line on a 69 is the same thread etc as a 66. If it is, that is awesome and I will order those.
