Many people use all 3/16 lines.

I used the exact cylinder from DSE (shown above) and 3/16” lines everywhere.
Works fantastic
Just get the tube nut for 3/16” to thread directly into large port from classic tube company
By the way, I am running hydraboost

Thanks guys, do you think it's OK to go right off the master with 9/16 and 5/8 connectors on 3/16 line, i.e. is it OK to run 3/16 directly into this MC?

[572Camaro]

Yes, absolutely
That is exactly what I did using a stainless tube nut for 3/16" line with a larger thread to fit the master cylinder directly.
No adapters required!
I bent my own lines, flared the ends, and installed the master cylinder with no leaks at the reservoir.
By the way, Classic Tube Company should have the wider tube nut you are looking for. I would not purchase the tube nut from their major competitor because when I did, it was junk and all galled at the seat. I threw it in the trash.

If you want pics, just let me know and I'll send you some,

I just wanna help

Jim, this is the exact info I was looking for, I was looking to use 3/16 lines directly with the larger tub nuts but was not sure it would work w this MC. Thanks so much!!! Ron

Hey Ron,
Sometimes it's tough to trust a stranger when it comes to BRAKES.

I just came back from the shop with four pics to give you a visual so you can gain faith in what I have shared.

Here goes..,

And yes Ron, my ego required I send you a pic of the red car I took pics of, which happens to be on the COVER and month of December for the Sherwin Williams 2019 Calendar.

Hey Jim,

Thanks again, that's awesome. I'm also building a big block, great minds must think alike! What headers are you running?
