Brake Questions

Hey guys i had a couple questions and couldnt really find the right answer. I ended up bending my axle shaft so ive come across a rear end even though its a lower gear not a big deal. but i have originally stock drum brakes in the rear. the new rear end has disc brakes. will my master cylinder and line work ok with this setup or do i have to upgrade, change lines? any help would be greatful. thanks

Mentioning the year, make, and model of your car is helpful when asking questions. Generally speaking, the master should be ok. I'd swap the prop valve. You'll also have the change the drive/driven gears for the speedo to read correctly. If you have a T5, read the stickies.
