Brake Tubing Sizes

[87wildside]

'87 with power brakes. Need the sizes of the hard lines.

I plan on doing a C6 corvette conv., will this effect the size of the tubing?

[T Man]

No it wont mess with the brakes. As far as the size goes, I always thought it was pretty standard, just ask for tubing

[Hammer Head]

..I think the fittings are 1/8" NPT & use 1/8" tube..

[87wildside]

....and is the front 3/16?

[Hammer Head]

That could very well be the size because 1/8" NPT is about 3/16"-1/4" to have the 1/8" hole in it.

[87wildside]

Confused now. Front and rear are different diameters. Thinking front is 3/16 and rear is 1/8. Prolly shouldn't have threw out the old lines w/o measuring them huh? Could always check the eight-seven, yo!

[Hammer Head]

I think they're both the same size.. You had to say 'yo'.... real nice.

[Hammer Head]

..& 3/16 sounds right to me.. it should be the same size as the calipers you have now. If anything just bring one w/ you when you get the lines.

Not on my truck, yo
