Why does the GMC have a 3/16th inch brake line comming out
of the master cyl. running to a connector under the driver
side wheelwell. Would a 1/4" line be better?
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks Arch,
That makes more sense now that I know...Seemed a little
odd when I was replacing it. Maybe I'll have the old GMC
on the road this weekend!!!!!
See Ya,

I have compiled the list of GMC owners that have e-mailed me requesting
Stainless Steel brakeline kits from classic tubes. Please review the
information and send me any additions, deletions or corrections. I was told
that the kit included lines and couplers, and would be dropped shipped from
their factory to each individual. Is there anything else that is needed? I
am hearing talk about unions and couplers??? When will everybody be ready to
buy?

Arch,
It's late and I'm sleepy, but the sizes of lines seems backwards to me.
Might this be a typo? or can you tell me where my thinking is backwards.
Thanks
Tim
 
Do we have an approximate cost of shipping?

Sharyn and all I am in the process of getting the complete cost and
shipping. shipping will be the variable but should not be much. Will get
minimum and maximums for the two coasts.
