Hello, I am converting my 58 Chevy Delray to manual front disc brakes. I want to know if the front brake line kit 5864LK-SS will have enough lenght to reach the master cylinder? The manual master is bolted directly to to firewall as you all know. I understand from the discription these lines are ment to used with a booster/master cylinder combo. I am going manual brakes due to low engine vaccuum. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good Morning,

The line kit is setup for power brake applications. Being that the booster pushes the master out in most cases you wont be able to use them in the manual brake position (Lines are too short). For Low vacuum applications the Hydralic booster setups work great since they tee into the power steering. Check the lines will adapt to this no problem.
