Default Get pre made brake lines

767 Jockey Get per made brake line where possible You want double flare on them all. Pep boys and Autozone carry a good supply of all different lengths. You will still need DOT lines from the body mounts to the calipers. Stainless is the best way to go. The brake lines will need retainers about every 12" to hold the lines in place. As far a size 3/16" line I think. Some people run a larger line to the front calipers like 1/4" if you are running to master cylinders for front and rear brakes. A bias valve is also recommended for rearend lockup. 60-70% of braking is done by the front brakes. If you flare your own lines, make 100% sure you don't crack the double flares. It's real easy to do. They have a machine for about $400.00 dollars that makes a double flare that comes out perfect everytime. It's hydrolic. We have one at work. Give me a call when you have a chance. Rick L Get all the lines cut to rough length or pre made. You will need couplers for the lines and the plastic retainers and self tapping screws to hold them in location.
