   iv just swapped my westy beam for a vtr disc beam, the bias box on the vtr beam has 2 pipes going to the brakes and 2 holes presumably for the lines coming from the front of the car, but these 2 holes are different sizes and my westy lines are the smaller size, so how do i connect the small westy line for the right handside brake (looking at the rear) into the hole or can i bypass the bias box and connect the lines up where the flexi hose is just before the caliper
   
   i hope you got that haha

   I had same problem oonly 2 months ago, what i did was take all the brake lines off the drum beam, and fitting that goes into the drum on the brake line is the saize you need to go into the bias valve! also the std brake line will be too long, so for the sake of a tenner, go get a new line made and have this fitting put on 1 end the other fitting on the other, then simply refit, jobs a goodun

   Get new lines made up mate.
   
   Think this has been discussed on previous drum to disk axle things for more info if you need it.
