Anybody using the Russel Street Legal Brake lines? If you have a 67-70, what did you do about the rear line?------------------

I have them on my 65. Very Nice product. It might just be me but the pedal feels stiffer. Mine was a 3 piece set from Summit, so I dont know about the 67 to 70. Is the rear line different?------------------

Being wrapped up is supposed to keep the rubber from expanding so I guess you would get a stiffer pedal.

For your 67-70 you'll need brass brake fitting adapters for the larger fitting size on your hard line to the block on the rear hose that is the smaller 65-66 size.------------------

Scott, Is the hose or tubing a different inside diameter or are the fittings just different sizes?

So the hard brake line is smaller in diameter on a 65-66 than on a 67-70?

No, they are all 3/16 hard lines.
Just the fitting at the end of the flex line is larger on the 67 calipers.------------------

If Russell sells a set of front and back brake lines for a 67 Mercury Cougar with drums (693060) how come they don’t sell a complete set of brake lines for a 68 Mustang with disc front brakes and rear drums? They would have the same flexible line that is used for the rear brakes.How did you guys get a rear brake line for your car if they are only sold in sets?
