Stainless brake line problem

ive got a 81 body with Gslse front and rear suspension under it. i tried to order stainless lines from Mariah motorsports and they said it was to different thread pitches. Basically they said they wouldnt make them with one of each end on them, so who out there has this setup with adapters of some sort. thanks mike

re swage the brake lines with the correct unions (the hard lines that is) or replace the brake lines and use the correct unions on the end

If you are swapping out the suspension you'll need to swap the mastercylinder and brake proportioning valve anyway.

Does it already have the SE suspension on it? How did you overcome the thread difference then? If it already has the swapped suspension, it might already have the threads converted somehow...

fatboy, im in the process of doing the swap now of the gslse suspension. i did call mazdatrix and "henry" said it will work fine with brake lines, but he said you may have a problem with the body to axle hose since my car was originally a drum setup. anyway i ordered the lines and ill see how far i get. thanks mike
