I'm converting to Ed Miller's 89-97 F-body 11.6" PBR rear discs, using his custom backing plates. But this should apply to everyone with rear disc, regardless of what they came from. Obviously, the stock drum style hardline (on the rear end housing) will not just bolt up to the flex lines for the rear discs. I know it i possible to cut back the stock line and re-flare it, but are there any other cars that I can just swap the parts over from?
I checked into 93-97 F-body line, but the rear is much wider than ours, so I'd have to cut it down to fit. therefore, no benefit. I assume the 89-92 rear line would be the same length as the 4th gen lines. From what Ed told me, the 98-02 rear hardline has different size fittings, so cannot work with a G-body T-block, or the older LT1 caliper hoses.
So that leads me to consider the hardline from a 98-up S10 Blazer, as they all had rear disc. IDK the width though, so IDK if it will work on my housing.
same with Caprice/Impala with rear disc. basically, anything that used a 10 bolt, and had disc brakes.
so that's what brings me here. what do you guys do for a hardline? pics are appreciated. Thanks
