Paul,
Thanks for fowarding that to me. I went with the Stainless Lines and
fittings, I think it cost me a total of around 50 bucks. I think its a much
cleaner look, and I'm not crazy about pepboys aftermarket parts, nor 35 year
old NOS rubber on my brake lines, but thats just my opinion.
I was talking with a fellow about running slotted and or vented rotors. I'm
questioning the width the calipar has to travel in order to squeeze the
factory solid rotor, does this look like any issue to you? I haven't read
anything about it, just wondered. The vented rotors will be a huge
improvement on top of the volvo calipars, but not sure if the factory solid
ones fit snug, if I'll have enough room for probably twice the thickness of a
vented rotor.
Any thoughts on that?

Hi Jeremy,
I am going to stick with the specs from the 311s.org site. Steve has no
problems so I am going to try it.
I am also going the volvo manifold way to connect the brake lines. It is a
much cleaner and safer approach.
Take care..

Paul,
I drive the snot out of my cars and have yet to have a problem. If you are
that concerned take another 1/16th off. As I said before it certainly will not
hurt anything--and just because it works for me your mileage may vary. Do what
you think is right for you. Yes, there should be a crush washer on the
main line as well. 99 percent of all brake fittings require a crush washer. SS
lines are okay but there is nothing wrong with the stock rubber ones. Glad to
help.
Be safe and enjoy the ride.
