Rear disc swap questions

[vince72]

Quick question on rear disc swap. I seen that most kits do not come with hard lines so I am wondering if they need to be replaced or if they can just be bent and made to work?
I am going with the el dorado rear calipers & cunningham rear brackets. I have everything else so & wondering about the hard lines

I know this a bit of an old question but just finished doing this myself. if your lines dont brake they just get bent and used.

For my application I kept my existing hard lines, I just cut them did a double flare and it all worked out.

"Good luck". I think you're making an expensive mistake.

Make sure you have the right brake pads for those calipers. D52 is NOT correct. D122 should be.

Yes, I did get the D122 pads. I bled the whole system and while I was at it replaced the front brake soft lines. The truck stop soo nice now! Only thing is I need to find a proportioning valave for disc disc. CPP does not have it so for now I have the original one
