I would think it would depend on where the flex line connects to the steel line.

I would air it up and measure.
And the lay it out and measure.
Vacume hose is good to mock up your length, so you can turn the wheels also.
Straight fittings or 90 degree fittings at the caliper also affect the length.

These are the lines I was thinking about.

I will have to do some measuring and see what I come up with. Thanks for the advice.

It's just a Chrome one from LMC. It's o.k. at best. If I could find and afford an OEM or NOS one in stainless, I'd be all for it.

Nice touch. I dig it

Glove box door looks great Jeff

Rochlow · 10-23-2014, 03:10 PM

Nothing to show, but I'm not a fan of bending brake and fuel lines.

I used 10mm line with straight fittings that were 12" long. Putting the suspension through the travel, this length seemed about right.

I just have to rebend one line, secure them in a few places and I should be done with the brake lines.

Thanks for the help and ideas, lolife99

**lolife99** · 11-08-2014, 06:22 PM

Glad you got it figured out!
I know I made a few purchases from Speedway Motors before I got all my brake lines done.
They have a very good selection of braided brake line fittings and hose.

I'm looking at the exhaust and was thinking of use Black Widow mufflers. Has anyone had any experience with them

They are a private label brand made by Gibson. I have no personal experience with Black Widow Exhaust, but have heard good things and know that Gibson makes a quality product.

I was thinking these or hushpowers

knomadd · 11-21-2014, 10:12 AM

Hushpowers are pretty quiet, compared to a Flowmaster, Magna Flow or Borla type sound. I had a set on my GTO, but I really wanted Flowmasters.... was really disappointed. If you want quieter than a Flowmaster, the Hushpowers still have a pretty cool tone, just not nearly as noticeable.

Unfortunately, no experience with Black Widow, or Gibson for that matter.

Thanks for the advice. I don't want quieter, I'm looking for a performance truck sound. I have flowmasters on my daily driver and like the tone.

Yep. Bought them for my Camaro project.

You'd love 'em. Be sure to buy the 304 stainless, over the 409 stuff.

Rochlow · 12-15-2014, 10:13 AM

Well, Just working on the parking brake and found out you can have a garage door company make a custom length intermediate cable with swage fittings, instead of ordering one.
