Which replacement soft brake lines needed

Hi everyone
It’s been years since I’ve done this job and I’m ready to tackle this again on my street car maintenance list

I want to replace my brake lines
Not certain which ones I need

The car is a 74
I “believe” the early and late lines sold are likely different in their attachments at the strut mounting tabs

This car has 911 front struts/3.5 spacing
And iron “A” calipers mounted

Rear brakes are stock 914 calipers with special pads/adj proportioning valve

Which soft lines should I order?

I assume 914/late for the rear

? Will 914 front lines mate/thread up to A calipers?

Thanks everyone
Brant

I’ll second that. Holly in customer service was super helpful on my 73 caliper refresh and replacement rubber lines.

Eric Shea is the man for brakes and really most other things you might need on your 914 as they are now doing full restorations and custom builds. PMB is in Sandy, Utah if I recall correctly. Great guy.

Yup Eric is it. FYI, I also have the same front as you, I moved my 914-4 fronts to the rear. No parking brake. My original stainless steel lines work fine for both front and rear.
