Can I use the stock brake lines with Wilwood kits and what is the benefit of stainless steel brake lines?
Yes, but they require 1/8″ – 27 NPT adapters to fit the calipers. We recommend use of high quality #3 or #4 braided stainless steel flex lines as replacements to the stock rubber lines for their added strength, resistance to abrasion, and reduced expansion under pressure. When replacing drum brakes on the rear of a vehicle equipped with a solid rear axle, it is advisable to use a solid hard line across the rear axle. A 3/16″ solid line will use 3/8-24 flare nuts to make a connection, and can be connected a Wilwood caliper by installing 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 IF adapters into the calipers. Wilwood Stainless steel lines are designed as direct replacement parts for OE lines. The replacement lines typically follow the same routing as the stock lines. While the flexible brake line will accept slight modifications to the intended vehicle, any excessive lowering or lifting of the vehicle may make the lines unsuitable for use on that particular application. Also, some lines may include provision
