Dennis,

 I would stay with the Van's supplied brake lines - at least dimensionally.  I believe you are trying to save weight in the wrong place.

 There are compatibility problems with using automotive fluids.  It will destroy the seals which are designed for use with 5606.

		  My RV8a project is ready for wheels, and I keep thinking about the brake 

system and lines.  Seem to me like some weight could be saved by going with 

3/16 brake lines, (smaller line and less fluid).  Problem with small lines 

is the heavy  viscosity of A/C hydraulic oil, especially when cold. 

Solution would be automotive Dot 3 or  Dot 4, but are there compatability 

issues with the  Matco master cylinders and Cleveland calipers?  Maybe new 

o-rings could solve the problem?  Anyone know the answer?
