Brake lines

OK!! The suspension is in and temp rear tires on.. Brakes are in the AM.. BUT..... What size lines do I use? The book shows 1/4" the packing list says 3/16"? All of the fittings on the master are reduced to 3/16" as well as the front caliper hose's.. I know to use 3/16" from the fronts to the tee, but I think I need 1/4" from the master to the tee's (front and rear)? Am I correct in this thought? HELP! I shouldn't need a pro.-valve but if the line size isn't correct I am going to have troubles. I have 4 wheel disc & 11" GM brakes.

Thanks in advance

No no no no no no no!!!!! Fred, I don't know what happened, but we haven't used 1/4" lines since we discontinued using the 8.8 axles. ALL brake lines are 3/16". If you need pictures on bending and install, let me know. I may be training someone on installing brake and fuel lines possibly this week.
