Disc brake conversion/ brake lines

just installed a disc brake Conversion on my 72 cutlass and at the point of getting the lines hooked up but now thinking that I should just replace those as well since I would have to modify them anyway , any advice as to buy a prebent kit vs making them my self from scratch. I’d like them to look good but not sure if they make the proper kit without modifying. My car was a drum/drum and has a distribution valve on the frame now but the new kit came with a new prop valve mounted to the master. Any advice / ideas welcome !

Take a look at “The Right Stuff” or “Summit’s” website, they should all of the pre-bent lines you need.

Been looking at those but from what I understand the factory setup didn’t have the prop valve on the master so I’m not sure if they have the correct kit without modifying I’m going to call their tech line tomorrow

Make your own with cupro/nickel brake tubing, then never worry about replacing them again.
