      Brake master sizing

      I'm under time pressure to order stuff, and just don't have the time or energy to research this stuff on my own, hopefully you guys will have the answers to this.

      1982 S10, roughly 3000 lbs and just a tad forward of 50/50 weight distribution (lots of redistribution).

      Front: ats spindles with OEM C5 disc brakes

      Rear: Ford 8.8 with OEM Explorer disc brakes, no clue...

      I will be using a manual wilwood pedal setup
      http://www.wilwood.com/Products/005-...dual/index.asp
      6.25:1 pedal ratio



      Questions:
      1. What master sizes (front & rear)? I've heard 1" for front? rear no clue.
      2. What size lines, I'm planning on bending hard line (front and back), and what kind of flare to use. 3/16 i've heard?
      3. What flexy front brake hoses (rubber vs. ss) and for what application...stock c5 vette?

      Again, I apologize for not researching and finding the answers myself, I was just hoping someone had experience with this kind of stuff, so that I could call up wilwood tomorrow and confirm that they recommended the right sizes, I've heard stories about how bad they are.

      Thanks,
      Jerome
