Thread: Brake line sizes/hose?

Tweet

I plan on setting my 1980 Camaro up with new brake lines from the master cylinder out. I was wondering what would be good sizes to run and is it ok to do it all on braided? Any other thoughts and suggestions are appreciated as well.

3/16 lines are the size most brake vendors recommend, especially with discs.

For braided line, use for only the locations that braided is needed....for two reasons, (1) braided line comes in short lengths and (2) it isnt cheap. Earls and Russel both make DOT braided assemblies. Braided line is still more expandable than steel hard line so keep the braided to a minimum.

Yeah the longer th braided part the mushier your pedal will be.

Great, thanks guys for the help.
