Brake line size

[neto]

I need some information. I searched for brake line sizes such as 1/4, 3/16. I found a threads but none where specific. I have already converted to 5 lug disc brakes up front and drum in the back. I'm using the poly vinyl armour brake lines (green).
1. What size to I go to the back brakes? The lines are 3/16 at the axle.
2. What size to the front from the MC to the PV?
3. What size from the PV to the disc?
Thank you
Ernest

This is from what i've seen.

1. 1/4 to back brakes then splits to 3/16 to each wheel.

2. 3/16

3. 3/16


When i did mine i just ran all 1/4.

would there be anything wrong with running all 3/16?

No, both my trucks have 3/16's all the way.

Just to vote.

I ran 1/4" everywhere except across the rear axle. The big front discs require more fluid to be moved than the old drums.

I researched this a while back and found a thread where Baer and Wildwood both recommended 3/16 for all applications both disc and drum.

Thank you all very much. This is great information.
