Brake Line Sizes??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BowTieOgre · 03-19-2007, 08:49 PM

Even though it isnt too expensive to just buy the pre-bent brake line kits I think I would really like to bend my own just to have the experience. Im wondering what size tubing I should use. I will have a 4 wheel disc setup using rear rotors from a Caprice. I have a CPP booster/mc/prop valve for a disc/disc application.

It looks like the old drum brake line going across the rearend was about 3/16" and the line running to the front looked a little bigger...maybe 1/4"?

Any suggestions on line sizes, fittings or tips in general would be greatly appreciated.
