Break plumbing diffrent with ebreak setup?

I always begin with.... Remember I am a rookie.

I am about to buy all the gas and break line plumbing for my truck and need some advice. The pic below is my setup... I am running the wilwood disc conversion kit with ebreak. Can I purchase a prebent line setup? Is that the best route to go? and last... who do you reccomend me buying a prebent kit from?

Re: Break plumbing diffrent with ebreak setup?

I'm a rookie right there with you. But if it were me, I'd buy a pre-bent line for the rear end like you are asking about, but keep in mind you'll need rubber or flex lines at the calipers to allow for movement. So i'd just cut enough off the ends and add the necessary fitting to install the hoses to the calipers. I'm not sure where to get any of it for sure, but I'm sure others will chime in by morning.

By the way, that is one great looking chassis you're working with. maybe one day I'll have the time, money and space to do a full tear down and rebuild.

Re: Break plumbing diffrent with ebreak setup?

im going to use braded lines from the calipers to and then make my own lines from there foward... if you go thru Pops dropmember build by superflysteiny he has some great pics on how he did it. with all the PB parts that is the route im going.....you have a much smaller notch and my be able to get away with running a premade rear set. I would ask nate his thoughts.

Re: Break plumbing diffrent with ebreak setup?

inlinetube.com is a good place to start for pre-bent tube. I don't know if they have a kit for rear discs, but that's who I would contact 1st. I'm not done with my kit install yet, but everything so far has lined up great.
