Re: What size are brake lines?

1. I have the disc brakes off a 72 for the front and Wilwood disc for the rear. Should I still run 1/4" for the rear or should I run 3/16" everywhere?

2. T304 grade stainless steel double anealed, or NiCopp for the lines

3. Where is a good place to get genuine NICopp line if that is the better choice, I have seen some on ebay that looks like copper tubing for refrigerant and I do not want it to be that soft and maybe the stuff that turns green that 70CHEVYBB described.

Anyway, any sugestions you guys have will be appreciated.
Recommend confirm with Wilwood, but generally speaking, 3/16 for disks, 1/4 for drums. So, you'd probably want to do 3/16 all the way around.
