For everyone now and in the future who will search and find this thread:

I have just done the common Granada disc swap on my 1968 coupe, I have just purchased a new M/C from a 1979 Granada. There are no lines connecting any of it. It seems like the original Mustang line connected to the Granada brake line near the spindle, but is too small to connect to the proportioning valve.

I've read countless threads in my search on how to route brake lines... what do you think?:

#1. Should I bend my own or should I a buy a preformed kit?

#2. Should I use the Granada Prop Valve?

#3. According to an ancient post by 302Coupe, perhaps it's better to just use a "t" for the front and an adjustable valve for the rear...any experience with this?

#4. Does anyone have a detailed list of exactly the lines and connectors needed for this? (If not, I'll add one to this thread after finishing the job).

Your detailed responses will be appreciatted for years to come...

Bending them yourself is pretty easy, and my local Napa has brake line with fittings in several different lengths. I used a little $10 bender to do my fronts when I did the granada swap.
