If you want to get picky, the front discs, which operate at higher line pressure (the reason for the prop. valve) use 3/16" lines, and the rear drums retain 1/4" lines.

What about in '71? Just rebuilt my MC a few months ago, both front and rear reservoirs are the same size. I supposed an accurate question would be: "Did this change occur the same time they went to discs?"
