Hey Guys,

I have been working with the guys at inline tube to get new lines from my stock 69 camaro master cylinder to the stock distribution block (was power disk Front, power drums Rear). I am running C4 calipers in front with 13" rotors and LT1 rotors and calipers in the back (if forget the exact size, but between 11" and 12").

The line that they provided for the rear brakes from the master cylinder to the distribution block is 1/4".

The line that they provided for the front brakes from the master cylinder to the distribution block is 3/16".

I have removed the rear drum holdoff valve from the system so the rear line is directly from the MC to the distrubution block.

Lines from the distrubution block to the calipers are all stock 3/16" w/ SS flex hoses at the ususal locations.

Is there a technical reason that I would require 1/4" line vs. 3/16" line from the master cylinder to distribution block on the front system?

Thanks,

Jereme

Maybe not a "technical" reason - probably more of a practical reason - and that would be the size of the threads in the MC and the DB. It might be tough to find a flare nut with those size threads for that size tubing.

Edit - re-read your post. As I recall, the factory used the smaller tubing on the front side of the disc cars betw the MC and the dist block. It is what I am using and it works just fine. I also got rid of the hold off valve which isn't needed/desired on a 4 disc system.

Thanks Al!

I also re-read my post and I realize that the holdoff valve was actually installed on the front system not the rear...
