Question Questions about Brake Parts

I am looking to replace the Master Cylinder and brake lines. I was thinking of going with some braided lines. Can anyone offer advice on the whose parts to get as far as Master Cylinder and Brake Lines? TIA

I have a friend working on a '70 Nova doing the same thing. He is having a problem finding the adapters to adapt the braided hose ends to MC. You may have to take what you cand find.

I don't really see the need for replacing the hard lines w/ braided. The whole point of braided lines was to prevent the brake line flex associated w/ rubber brake lines. Hard lines don't flex like that and therefore don't need to be "improved". If your going for aesthetics, then maybe you should save a buck or two and get the braided "covers" to cover your lines. Just my 2¢

It is the rubber flex lines that I am looking to replace with braided steel lines. Any recommendations?

Also any recommendations as to where to get the master cylinder from?

Ooops, I read your post, then the one right after it and thought you were replacing the hard lines You can go to summit and get pre-made stainless lines. The brand is "Earls".
