    Replaced the rear on my 70 with a rear from a 73. But the center hub is bigger so I think it's a 74+
    Of course there is no premade line from the front to back. So I ordered a 71. Nope. So someone made me one.
    I ordered rear line kit for a 74. The wheel cylinders were to rusty and they wouldn't thread in. So I replaced them.
    Hooked up the drives side line. Went to hook up the passenger side and the fitting on the block side seems bigger then the wheel side and it won't fit in the block.
    Sigh.

    Where did you get the pre-bent lines? www.RightStuffDetailing.com should have all the lines because I provided them with the patterns.
