    Welp last night after droping my motor in I decide to put my rubber brake lines back on. I left them off because I didnt want to damage my new hoses while I was working on other stuff. Well I screwed the new lines into the back of my 11"drums then went to connect them to the steel lines and the hose end was one size to big. So heres my question will the hose off the 9 " brakes work on the 11" brakes or do I have to redo my steel lines? Any advise would be helpfull. TIA

    You can buy adaptors to step it down without redoing the hard lines if they won't fit, and I'm not sure they will.

    I purchased mine at NAPA every time, they've had 'em in the little drawers of fittings.

    Welp I wanted to add to this tread In hopes it helps someone later down the road. I found out that the lines off the 9" drums will work great W/0 addapters but most ppls lines are to short. They make a 11" OAL Line Opposed to the short one (6" OAL ) for 9" drums. So all you got to do is order the long lines for 9" drums and you are ready to rock again.
