I currently have 11" power booster and standard looking MC and prop valve with 3/16" lines to the front and 1/4" line to the rear along the frame.
I'm liking the Wilwood master cylinder and proportioning valve and I want to bend and flare my own NICOPP lines so here's the question: am I going to be OK with running 3/16" line to the rear?
I talked to a vendor and he said it's no problem. I think I read that somebody here has done that type of setup so what about it - does this seem like a reasonable way to go?
Thanks for any advice.  |
I just redid all the tubes and the hose to the rear drums on mine. Mine are manual. I used 3/16" copper nickel line for everything. Easy to bend everything by hand and double flared very easy. Should I have used 1/4" tube? Maybe, probably, but I can say the truck brakes great now so I'm not concerned.
