Prefabbed brake lines for Disc/Disc setups?

Hey all,

Anyone know if a company makes 3/16" prefabbed brake lines for a disc/disc setup for our vehicles? Looking for one for a 66 fleet, longbed. I've emailed two companies to see/verify their kits, but haven't heard back from either. One company's title said "disc/disc" but in their description they referenced disc/drum, so wasn't sure.

I was planning on running lines myself, but if they have a prefabbed kit and the price isn't huge I wouldn't mind saving the time.

Cheers!

Only difference in the rear is that the hard line will terminate on the axle (instead of the wheel cylinder), and a flex hose goes from there to the caliper. Just cut/flare a drum line, and add a mount/clip/flex hose.

Will the drum line be too large in terms of inner diameter?

No, the proportioning valve will take care of things.
