Brake Lines

[tiwaz_nz]

when replacing drums with cf2 front disks do any of the brake lines need changing or are they a straight swap 

[Jeff]

I did mine, and it's a straight bolt on swap.....EEEEEzzzy. And a huge difference in smoothness.
There can be a tendency for the rears to lock up, so a limiting valve is a good idea and may be required for the engineer's cert that you should really get if you want to be legal.

Whoops! I just remembered that my brakes came with the flexable hoses attached, so there is a possibility that the brake ends of the rubber hoses have a different fitting.

You definitely need to change them if you fit HQ calipers. I would have thought you'd need to for any disc's actually.

was the flexy rubber hose i was thinking about ... ill try the fitting on my swb in the garage ..tho its an early model cf and the brakes are off a 88 cf2 , i also have hq setup but would like to stay cf for now , jeff did you have to change the ball joints ? , my van is a 79 swb

 Ball joints matched up OK, but mine is an 82 swb.
