are the rear brake lines on an SVO 3/16" or 1/4"? i ask because i bought an 86 SVO master cylinder for my 73mm front calipers and turbo coupe rear disk and i had to use like 3 adapters to get it down to 3/16" standard line size.. which makes me wonder if SVO's had bigger line from the factory(same with 88 turbo coupes?) and if i need to run new 1/4" line from the master cylinder to the axle flex line... Thanks

No, for whatever odd reason, they just used different sized fittings on the MC's. They all used the same 3/16" line though.

ok, so for now i'll keep my eye out for the proper fitting(no parts stores here have it), until then i'll run my short 1/4" line(less than 3", will that change pressure much?) adapted to a 3/16" line to the line lock..

I picked up the correct line from a Mark VII w/o ABS. it fit perfectly on my SVO M/C
