Lightbulb 94 chevy 1500, rear drum to disc conversion "help"

hello, I'm doing a drum to disc conversion on my 1994 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado ext cab truck. the calipers that I'm using are from a 1980 Cadillac Eldorado. The people that sold me the kit told me that I needed to purchase a short section of flexible brake line for each of the calipers. my problem is I can't find the right fittings to match the calipers and the hard line that went to wheel cylinders on my truck. the other thing is people keep telling me to start at the T section to the calipers. The people that sold the kit told me to go from the hard line that went into the rear wheel cylinder to calipers, that's it's a shorter section of brake line. I don't care if it’s a rubber or stainless steel hose. i have been to many auto stores speed shops. just dead ends i keep running into. please help any suggestion or solution.I would just like to get this problem fixed.

Try www.inlinetube.com . Check in their street rod catalogue. or give them a call. I don't know if they can help you but I found what I needed for my rear disc conversion. Michael

i used front brake hoses for a 80 camaro. it had the correct banjo end to fit the caliper and the correct 3/16 other end for a normal flared brake line to go into. this was on my 89, dunno if the rear end lines on a 94 are metric or 3/16 like the 89 was. from the hoses i just ran a 3/16 line off each of those to the T over the pumpkin, the hoses made changing pads a dream.
