Are the brake lines from the Tee block to the caliper/flex hose from my 9bolt compatable with a 10bolt & PBR calipers? (length and connection at the caliper?)

Almost have all the parts in hand to install the brakes this weekend.

The only difference between 9- and 10-bolt with PBR's is the backing plates. All else is the same.

I did not have PBR brakes. I replaced an iron caliper 9bolt with a 10bolt and decided to do the PBR upgrade along with the swap of the rear end. I know I need flex hoses and plan to pick them up after work. If I will need new hardlines also I wanted to get on the phone and find them so I can be sure of completing the work this weekend.

I just picked up the pads and rotors...are they pads soooooooooo tiny when compared to what I removed...do I have the right ones?

The pads should be for 89-92 (I assume for the performance package).

I measured the rotors (11.5") and compared them visually to pictures on here and when I looked at the pads I asked to see another set from another manufacturer and both were the same size and shape. I was surprised by what I saw as a small contact area and on disk brakes I have worked with the pad covers most of the machined area on the rotor. There is aproximately 1/2 inch of machined surface that will not be covered by the pad face. I did not have time last night to fit them into the caliper and check that fit.

I checked at rockauto.com. They call the performance package 1LE.

JamesC....I have looked at pics and read your thread on brake conversion. On the drivers side the hard line goes into the l-bracket and connects to another line. What is this line...hard or flexable and there appears to be a fitting between the outboard line and the caliper. Is this fitting a threaded fitting similar to the one connecting the flex hose to the passenger side caliper? I zoomed the picture but there is not enough density to see this section clearly and Classic Tube does not provide a picture of the parts in their tube kit.
Thank you for the help.

I added these pics, which you may find helpful, to the above link.

Driver's side:

As you can see, the hardline goes to the bracket and the flex line goes from hardline/bracket directly to the caliper. No extra fittings are required.

Thanks JamesC...I could not tell if that was a hard or flex line. I guess it is time to just order the kit. I was going to try and get what I have to work but after test fitting all on the drivers side I don't see it working. I really wanted to get it back on the road this weekend...such is life when doing modifications.
