These are undoubtedly the best lines, but may be hard to find? Use 1/4" so the lines match the wheel cylinders, and a flex line at the m/cyl. and diff. Cut-to- length steel lines are available at most parts stores, do not use copper lines. All lines should be double-flared. Use a tubing bender of some type to avoid kinking the lines. Use care at the rear cylinders as they require a really tight bend. Good luck!
