Re: 6 lug brake rotor and braided line questions

Well heres what I did,

back in the summer I did a disc brake conversion...new balljoints everything, the whole works from a 71 gmc 1/2 ton

well when it came to lines i was low on $ and ready to get it back on the road. I bought straight hard lines from oriellys didnt really bend em just slapped em on yeah, I know! and reused the 40 YO soft lines (oriellys didnt have them or something) well its currently like that with a 5 lug front and 6 lug rear. I wanna get em matching and working correctly.

1-buy braided or rubber lines (prolly go rubber due to the price)

2-should I buy pre-bent hard lines ($) or try to bend my own?

3-keep hunting a 5 lug rearend in coil spring or just buy 6 lug rotors?

Those are my ?'s thanks
