tap into the line coming right off the master cylinder for a line lock for a friends C5.
he found someone that sells a kit but doesnt want to spend 225 bucks, for something we can get all the parts except those adapters for 50 bucks.

You might try AFCO.

We use a AFCO 10mm to -3AN adapter to come directly out of the caliper and not have to use banjo bolts and crush seals.

I'm sure we have something you can use. Give me a call on Monday to discuss.

Stay away from adding braided lines to your braking system (sounds like this is what you're trying to do).

Replacing a rubber line with a braided line can be beneficial.

Adding a braided line in place of hard line can add a more spongy brake feeling as you're increasing the likelihood of hose expansion under pressure. This leads to longer pedal throw and less precise braking.

Talk to you on Monday.
