New Brake Lines

I just recently finished installing the Tom's front disc kit with new prop valve on my '72.

I was able to do some crude modification to the stock metal master cylinder lines (actually I had the flexible hoses/lines) and the prop valve line to get them to bend into a workable position......but they look like crap.

Does anyone know which master cylinder line kit will fit best with this application? Also, the only place I found that has a new prop line is Jeff's. Does anyone know if it is bent correctly to fit on the new proportioning valve?

Thanks!

I bought a pair of brake line forming pliers from Eastwood. One of the better tools I have found. You can bend some pretty short 90's and form lines to fit that a regular tubing bender won't do.

I used Tom's brake line kit for a '74, the disc brake proportioning valve, new lines for a '76-77 proportioning valve to a Power booster MC (I have the old style power booster), and everything was a bolt on. I would call Tom's, they helped me with my mismatch brake system.
