c5 brake line question.

Hey guru's. I have all of my stuff ordered minus my brackets and hubs. And i got to wondering if theirs a source for braided brake lines that will work on the early cars(82-84).

Im doing the c5 swap. And id like the braided stainless lines as my stock lines are 23 years old now.

Does anyone have an earls part number that will work with this application, or can at least help me devise a solution. Thanks a bunch.

Spohn should have them in stock although you can piece them together yourself if you don't mind calling Earls' and getting the parts yourself.

will this work, right in place of the stock line, even when using the upgraded brakes?

They should, even with the round banjo bolt fitting. Otherwise, you can make a custom line using a separate line fitting, brake line, and banjo fitting.
