Since no one has mentioned this yet, there is the option of
making/buying some braided custom lines from one of the AN hose vendors.
Russell, for instance, has dozens of brake hose ends and brake hose
options in their catalog.  May be worth a look.

Subject: [Amc-list] More Brake Questions

First of all I want to thank you all for the advice on the proportioning
valve.?? Bear with me.? I took on a restoration project over 10 years
ago (with this AMX), bought lots of parts and then due to a?job transfer
my project has sat for about 9 years.? To make matters worse, I bit off
more than I could chew in the first place (not being a mechanic).? I
have everything I need for this power front disc brake setup.? I
recently purchased new brake lines from classic tube.? I have the
rotors, spindles, calipers etc. on the front end.? I went to install the
front brake line into the caliper and found it to be too small for the
caliper.? I looked through my notes, receipts etc. and see that I did
not have the bendex setup, but the kelsey hayes which came from a 73
AMX.? The calipers fit just fine but the inlet where the brake line
enters is in a different location (not on the side of the caliper facing
the engine compartment, but on the bottom, facing the ground).? Also I
believe
  the inlet to the caliper iteslf is 1/4 while the line connector is
3/8.? I went to an auto parts store and it was suggested I use a brass
connector (elbow) with 1/4 to go into the caliper and step down to 3/8
into the brake line.? That would seem to be easiest, but will it work??
Any suggestions?? Did I confuse everybody?

Thanks,

Jim
