Brake line conversion Dbl flare to Iso?
Hey,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm unsure how to even search for this topic.
I have an '84 Firebird, which, to the best of my knowledge, uses double flares for the brake lines.
I just bought brakes off of a 98 Camaro (LS1 swap) and would like to use these brakes.
How exactly would I go from the double flare at the junction (rear axle) to the calipers? Is there some kind of adapter?
What about for the fronts??
Thanks!!!

I replaced everything in the rear of my '85 Z28 and am in the process of replacing the front and I believe its all ISO bubble flare. Still not sure if and what adapters you may or may not need. The LS1 thread didn't cover this?

I just looked at the LS1 tech article, and that was vague about what years had double flares, and what had iso.. thanks though..

I just replaced a wheel cylinder in my '85 and it had ISO bubble flares. But when I took one off my '84 junker, it had double flares. Howerver, the junker car was heavily modified before I got a hold of it (IE: 28 spline axles and no emergency brake hardware, even inside the drums), so thats still not really conclusive. From what I have seen between the two cars, there are alot of minor changes that took place between '84 and '85 like that.
