Default Coat hangers......

Hi Keith

Rob and I have done full systems on ours ( HUP and cab 11 Chev)

We used coils of brakelines and some SS lines. Best bet is to use a coat hanger or straight steel welding rods..... bend to shape and use as a guide.

With waste count on using a full 25 foot spool of brake line.......

Measure five times... cut once..... and don't forget to get the ferrul in before you flare.......... otherwise your vocabulary will improve........

Fuel lines were the same size as the brake line..... used Jeep short rubber lines for mounting to the fuel pump and the 3 way valve......

You will need 3/16 lines for the vacuum lines to the dizzy and regular 1/4 lines for the wipers.

Also used synthetic brake fluid in mine as I used new wheel cylinders and rebuilt master....
