I set out to convert the drums to disks. I bought the kit from Leed Brakes 2 years ago, and I'm finally getting around to putting everything together. The new master cylinder uses two 3/16 inch lines with a larger fitting routed to the rear brakes. The original single pot used a 1/4" line to the distribution block. I went to the parts store to try and buy some adapters but couldn't find anything.
The black adapter in the second picture is the line supplied in the kit. It fits into the front port of the master cylinder, but the other end is an odd thread that I can't fit into anything. I'm prepared to just make new line from this master cylinder, but I'd like some advice on what is best at this point. I don't think I'll have the option of a return or replacement from LEED since its been 2 years.
So here is what I think my options are:
1. Get a new distribution block, everything plumbed to 3/16. Take the $ hit on the 1/4" stainless I bought from inline tube.
2. Get a different master cylinder? From pictures I've seen posted most seem to use 3/16" to the distribution block though... Not sure if there is even an option here for another master.
3. ...
Car is a 65 polara, 426 wedge.
Thanks,
Joe
