I don't see how they would work. And they use the same banjo bolt size on both calipers I thought. Both are 10mm-1.50 correct?

I'll have to look at my stock lines tomorrow. If I remember correctly, mine were bent differently and I didn't want to bend them to get them to work. Plus the stainless lines were a cheap upgrade that was in the back of my head anyway.

GMCtrk is going to install his this weekend so we'll get to see if he can make them work.

Just did my swap yesterday! Very simple and I am very happy with the results! Only problem I had was that o'reillys gave the the 1.3" thick rotor, other than that it is very strait forward. I do kinda miss having my parking brake though... I think i'll get over it lol. How did everyone else fasten down the the brake hard lines, where they used to bolt to the backing plate?

I made my stainless steel brake line really short so they hold tension on the stock brake lines. That way they don't need to be held down by anything and they stay away from the inside of the wheel.

Will they fit the drum axles?

Yes now they will. I added mounting provisions for drum axles on this batch. I will get some pictures of them up here so you can see. But now the drum guys can convert over to disc brakes and still run 15" wheels.
