    About to put an explorer rear end with disk brakes on my 1971 Maverick and wondering which front to rear brake line to use? Here are the ones listed in the catalog. I assume beings it is no longer drums I would use the LIN7501S or LIN7601S but wonder whats the difference or would I still use LIN7101S? Thanks

    are you running the calipers...one front and one back or both on the same side. if you run them both to the back the stock E-brake cable can work...:yup:

    I used my lines with fittings from the Crown Vic lines. Had to re-flare my hard lines and use the Crown Vic flex lines that connected to the calipers

    You will have to pick the line that corresponds to the proportioning valve threads you are using. Then you can just purchase the correct rear hose to match the new line. For the length of them, the two short rear hard lines would be easy enough to make from scratch using the Crown Vic fittings on the outer ends like Jeff said. I suspect the size of ALL the brake lines is the same 3/16".
