Brake line adapters
I am do a front disc brake conversion on my 70 c10 and have hit a snag. I had to change to a proportion valve and my brake lines don't fit. I don't want to change my lines right now, so I was looking for some adapters. From what I can tell, my proportion valve has a 3/8-16 port for the front brakes and a 9/16-18 port for the rear. My brake lines are 7/16 for the front and 9/16 for the rear. What would be the best way to go about making this work? Thanks.

Re: Brake line adapters
I took my MC, lines and proportional valve to Napa and they gave me the right adapter.

Re: Brake line adapters
Any parts store should have adapters for you.

Re: Brake line adapters
You need "inverted flare" adapters from your parts store.
Speedway Motors also sells them.

Re: Brake line adapters
Possibly you could cut off the flare on the front line, slip a new 3/8 fitting on and re-flare?

Re: Brake line adapters
Thanks guys. My new master cylinder should be here by the end of the week, and I will just take everything to the parts store and hopefully get everything to fit together.
