If it's an '83 and up, yes.

'84 was the first year for metric fittings.

Don't forget that the main line to the rear is 1/4", not 3/16"

So the line from the master cyl. to the rear is 1/4. Is the line from the m.c. to the front 1/4" also?
After the T, the lines to the l&r wheel is 3/16?
Thanks for your help.
