72 intermediate brake line.
 
So I have most of my brake lines routed and have ran into the rear frame rail line not fitting. It’s too long and it’s my fault as I ordered one for a k10 rather than a blazer. I did this to avoid inline tube as there are some bad threads out there about them. Now I’m wondering if I can get that line without ordering a whole kit. It’s a stainless line. Does any one have a suggestion. I’ve thought about making one but I would have to buy a flare tool for it.

Another issue is my rear soft line does not fit the hard lines. I think the hard lines are 7/16 male while the soft line is 3/8 female. It fits the intermediate line. Not even sure what to do about that.

Here’s what I found.

I also bought some adapters for the brake lines. Hopefully everything works out when I get the line.

I got ALL my fuel and brake lines from inline tube and they fit perfectly on my '71... You can probably call them to order just your intermediate line in SS.

I may do that. I just saw summit is a month out to get it. When you hooked up your rear soft line do you remember if the new hardlines fit. The hardlines are 7/16 but the T fitting on the soft line is 3/8. I’m thinking the softline is wrong possibly and the T is permanently part of the soft line. I’m weary about using adapters either for leaks or possibly different pressure. I could be wrong and hopefully it works. I bought my softlines from ORD when I did my lift.

Well my rear axle is a swapped in 14 bolt and i went disc brakes. From the intermediate line i have an ORD soft line, down to inline tube 14 bolt hard lines. The hard lines are for drum brakes however so they were cut a few inches short on each end and reflared to accept soft lines going to the calipers.
