if you buy them from ZZP the brackets are already tapped...so it should bolt right up...i recommend SS lines/ceramic pads though.

side note: make sure you mount them correctly the FIRST time...lol, also check the brake line for tension while turning, you can bend the bracket out a bit if needed....tension on brake lines = potential disaster..

Stainless brake line kit for your Wbody replaces all of your factory rubber lines. Provides a more responsive and firm brake pedal by eliminating the spongy feel that often accompanies stock rubber brake lines.
  • PTFE inner hose covered by braided stainless steel
  • Plastic coating keeps them looking nice and makes cleaning easy
  • Includes 8 copper crush washers
  • DOT approved
Longer fronts are 20.5" and work on F-body kits, Bonneville, and 13" brake kits.
