Re: need help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure of the size.

Most auto parts stores carries the straight tubing and it not that expensive.

I have never been brave enough to buy the tubing and try to do the bending myself. Luckily I have always had a parts truck laying around I could get the pre-bent line off of.

Good luck and at least this will take it back to the top where some one that knows more than I do will post.

Re: need help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you'll need to change that prop valve to a disk/ drum set up also. Im not sure of size but if you take in the prop valve theyll set you up with the proper thread lines and dont forget youll need a "t" to split the front line left and right, also you ll need and adaptor to run the origional rear brake line to the new prop valve. Im doing this right now as well, also if you didnt swap ou tthe crossmember, youll need to move the brake soft line retaining tabs to the front of the crossmember also

It is 3/16 to the front and 1/4 to the rear. Buy a full coil (25 ft) bend and flair yourself and return whats left. You can make it look stock but get better clearances and cleaner routing.
