Brake line size
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 |

Re: Brake line size
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. TR

Re: Brake line size
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.
