Front brake line splitter
I am moving my master cylinder to the firewall on my 53 f100. What do I need to use to to split off for the front brakes and where do you mount it? What size of brake line do I used?

How was the lines run before?
If the master was a frame mount just run lines from the firewall master and to the old lines.
Truck have disc or drums up front?
Either the hose that the line goes into at the wheel will dictate the size line.
A brass Tee for flare fittings is what you need.
Now run the line from master down to the frame rail with a few coils (for cab to frame flex) run to the left front wheel with the Tee and the line to the right front run across the front cross member.
OR
Tee off the master and a line run across the firewall to the right side and down the frame rail to the wheel and the other side of Tee to the left wheel.
Think my 81 F100 is run like the first, Tee at the left wheel and across the front cross member but I do have a car where the right side line runs across the firewall.
