I am just about to start plumbing in new disk brakes on my '68 Suburban. A previous owner added a power booster to the stock drum brakes. I don't know the vintage of the donor parts. Since I have to redo all the lines in the front, would it make sense to change from the existing 3/16" lines to 1/4"? I understand that disks need more volume to operate properly.

Thanks,

Paul

Use whatever the size is on the wheel end, that will be what it is designed for. Lines that are too big make the pedal feel spongy.
