Get the copper easy bend line..you wont regret it. btw the flair nuts should be 3/16ths standard.

Question. Are you going to install the line lock before or after the proportioning valve? Before the valve will keep your brake lights on, after the valve and no brake lights.
I see that you have a new prop valve so you wont be doing away with that like some guys do.

Line lock before the factory proportioning valve.
The proportioning valve we're getting is for the rear. A simple one-in one-out valve. We'll tap into the line that runs to the rear somewhere under the driver seat. Since we're upgradeing from factory disc/drum setup to 13" C5 front and Impala rear disc, we'll need to adjust wheel lockup as close to front/rear equalization as possible.

Thank you.
Mental note: Copper... 3/16ths...

The plan was to start on this thing today, but... My boss' mother passed away so he is headed to TN this morning. Needless to say I'll be at work all day and besides, the weather is looking like rain nearly all weekend. We don't have a garage, so we are at the mercy of Mother Nature.

Starting to sound like a broken record: Stay tuned...
