I am getting ready to buy a conversion kit for front drum to disc , I have a couple of questions for someone that has done one of these swaps.

The main question I have is the brake lines when I did to restore on my car I replaced all brake lines, I know the old lines will not match up with the new posistionof the proporting valve, from what I seen the valve is mounted next to the booster so what are you guys doing to get the lines up to the new valve ??? I am sure I can use union and make up an extention but that would not look right.... Other than that any other things I should look out for or be prepared for that you would like to pass along would be great

Thanks

Did you read this? http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107745

For a clean install; bend new lines, cut to length, and reflare with the correct fitttings installed. But, you need to invest in a double-flare kit and a tube bender.

yes I did read that post I should say skimed throught it, from what i did read it seemed to be more geared on what used or new parts that can be used for a domit yourself conversion I want to take the easier way out and use a kit made for the swap but I know there is not a kit around that truley has everything you need..... and to have to re-plumb the brake lines that really sinks !!!!!! ther must be an easier way....insnt there....

It's not hard to make new lines. And generally you can keep it cleaner looking by doing it yourself. Just go slow and make it look nice.

after googling brake conversions I see the some people still keep the metering block and install the "correct reproduction proporting valve" or hold off valve as some called it and then I would just have to run from the master to the metering valve which would be a snap, If I have to run new lines I would the pre bent lines went in easy so I wouldnt be opposed to doing them again, it just seems that that is a major step that these conversion kit leave out.....

Soemone has had to do this ??????
