Okay, 1980 K30. I have the new rear disc brakes mounted on the 14 bolt full floater and am ready to plumb. I used the same calipers as on the front and they have M10-1.5 threads where the banjo bolts normally go. I would like to run hard lines all the way to each caliper. As an option, I could use flexible lines if I had an idea which model vehicle I would need them from that would reach the top center of the differential, then install a three way block. Anyone have experience with adapters for the hard lines or specific flexible line that were used to accomplish this task? Thank you in advance.

If the calipers slide in & out, won't you need flex lines?
