*****************************************************
The changes WERE to the steel lines, as the flex hose length for both axle
lengths are the same.  You can however just get 1 inch longer lines and use
those.  That's what I did on my '72 when I switched to the longer axles.
Just make sure that the threaded ends are the same. as what's on the car
and the wheel cylinders you are using.

If your going to the swing spring you don't need a camber compensator, and
putting one on won't gain you anything but additional weight-
