What size lines...?
I've got the engine out of my TA to swap in a 400. While it's out I wanna change the brake and fuel lines. I know there are a few different sizes of brake lines at different parts of the car. My question is this...Can I just use the same size line everywhere? I was thinking about just getting some 6mm spools and using that across the whole car. If this is not the way to go does anyone know what sizes to use and where? Thanks guys.

Re: What size lines...?
the line that goes from the prop-valve to the rear flex line is 6mm. All the other lines are 4.5mm. they have bubble flared ends. So be sure to use the right tool. Or you can get direct fit replacement stainless or regular steel lines from finelines, classictube, classic industries ect.

Awesome, sounds good. Is every flare in the system a bubble flare? I noticed my 87 Camaro had some double flares on it. Prolly just the previous owners mistake.
