    The bends and the routing is different between the 9 and 10 inch brake lines.

    Why?
    Same master cylinder correct?
    Thanks in Advance!

    When I put 10” self adjusting Wagner brakes on my 1953 3B I used a standard master cylinder and the standard 3B tubes all the way up to the steering knuckles.
    At the knuckle you must change out the old “S” tubes. Install the “Z” tubes and it fits right up to the standard 10” Wagner wheel cylinders.

    Are you asking because you're doing a resto & want it all "correct", or because you're swapping from 9 to 10 brakes?
    If you're doing a swap I don't think it matters...all the V6 CJ's got 10 brakes, but the first couple years used a single pot master cylinder, then sometime in the late 60's the feds mandated a dual master cylinder. AFAIK the brakes themselves didn't change.
