disc conversion woes
 

I'm in the middle of the swap, and as soon as I finally got these $#@%&* ball joints loose, I see the fitting on the brake line is smaller than the threads on the new hose. I have the upgrade kit from CPP with the 73-87 balljoints & tie rods--is that why?
:confused: So, would it be better to cut & "re-flute" the line with a new fitting, or get a whole new line?:mad:

i adapted my lines on my master cylinder with adapters from pep boys.

Friend of mines truck ran into the same problem we just got a reducing coupler i think it was 1/4- 3/16 we just took the old brake line in with a peice of the new one and got a coupler that worked

yup doing the same thing....
these fitting adaptors are easy to get...got mine at lee's auto parts....
nobody said it was easy:flag:

Ah, OK. When you guys say "couplers" & "adapters," do you mean a union that has two different size threads on it? I haven't heard of those yet.
Thanks -- sounds alot easier than replacing stuff.

When I ran into that, I just bought the hoses from Early Classic Enterprises. They sell a special adapter brake hose that has the proper fittings on each end.
