you can bend 3/16" brake lines by hand wo kinking if they're the regular parts house ones that are not hardened material. See if reducer bushings are available from Earls etc or cut reflare your ends

Yeah, but the lines are the stock ones and they worked fine when I converted to the non-power brakes. I do remember doing a little bending to get them to line up. I didn't tell the company that it was manual brakes either.
Well I'm sure it would matter if it's power or not as far as brake lines.

To clarify even though I will be using manual brakes I told them it was power brakes as I knew the lines on it worked before.
Your never bend stainless, after it's bent like that.
Should have told them exactly what your using parts wise, so they can make the right lines for you.
Like what the other guys said, you can make those easy with reg steel brake lines from the auto parts store, plus then they will seal.
Tip on the stainless lines, lub the fittings well so you can really get them tight, cause there gonna need to be really tight to seal. Stainless is hard.
Good luck with it.

How can you tell they are not stock?
Because the master cylinder is not stock.

Hmmm never thought about not being able to bend the stainless. I just knew I had done it before. The first one I tried to hook up was the passenger side line and the fitting was too large, but I did have to rebend it a couple of inches by hand so it lined up with the port. And I am not changing master cylinders - I spent about 15 - 20 hours polishing an aluminum one like the one above!
I hear ya! I bet if you tell them which MC your using, they could make em.
I know it sucks having those nice stainless lines and can't use em. Maybe they would take em back if you didn't install them or bend em.

Don't blame the line manufacturer. That is not the correct master for the car. The old lines you have pictured are hand bent not orignal. Why don't you use the correct master?
Because he has "15-20 hours" polishing his aluminum MC.

When I converted my 65 Cuda to discs I used the same style MC you have, no original or stock for either of our rides. I used the brake lines and prop valve off a Diplomat and tweaked the lines to fit. Which is probably similar to what whomever did your swap did.
You probably ordered stock lines for your vehicle, which as you found out are not even close to being what you need.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
