Put one on yesterday and needed new hard lines from prop to master.
Already have the manual kelsey Hayes, one line fits, the other 'rear brakes' I made out of 30" 3/16 w/3/8 ends and used a 3/8 female invert to 1/2 Male 20. I dont like the old line next to the new one and or potential leakage...so naturally I'd like to change that one too... so I'm thinking an adaptor at the prop valve where it comes out of the top with a 9/16 'I think?'
How many made their own and how many bought a pre made with the different ends and where?

I bent my own. Rather than screw around with adaptors, I bought correct fittings from NAPA. You need one 1/2"-20 and one 9/16"-20 for 3/16" tubing.
Less joints mean fewer opportunities for leaks and it just looks correct.

Autozone has them and they let me go in the back and pick out what I needed.
That specific line with the two different size fittings, they had in stock in a couple of different lengths.
They also had (in stock) all the other fittings I needed to swap a brake system from a single tank master cylinder and manual brakes to a dual tank power brake system with an adjustable proportioning valve.

They dont have ANY lines with 2 different fitting sizes here at autozone. They only have the 3/8 or 5/16 fittings on each end.
So far I just used a 3/8 to 1/2 Male to make the one line work

This master has two 1/2 ports. I got rid of the 9/16 fitting on that side.
