[dave a]

on the rear and HR front end with torana calipers. also running v-44 booster. any help would be appreciated

Standard 3/16" will be fine.

If your running a single circuit master cylinder you can run 1/4" to the booster then the same to the splitter fitting,then 3/16" from there to the brakes,if your running a dual circuit master cylinder 3/16" will be ok to do all.

I am trying to do this but the fittings on the 1/4" are too big for my booster (vh40) the 3/16" fittings fit but the hose place I went to can't put a smaller fitting on 1/4" bundy tube- I suggested maybe a step down fitting but they reckon they dont have anything like that. Putting another splitter in wont help as that would mean running a section of 3/16" which defeats the purpose. How are people getting around this?

Maybe rubber hose with female 1/4" on one end and male 3/16" - surely someone has something better?

I made all my lines out of 1/4" lines and ran into the same problem you have, so I just started again with 3/16" like I should have at the start.
I wouldn't use rubber hose to get around it, just go with the 3/16" line.

I rang Terry @ Hydroboost and he sent me up a couple of adapters in the post- sorted!

You can see them on the booster in this post-
