Default Re: 9" rear in a jailbar truck

I'm not a proctologist, but I've been working on a rear end most of the day. Is there a brakeologist in the house? The little hole bored into the wheel cylinder at the inverted flare fitting is pretty goldang small, so that must limit flow to a point? When Henry switched from 1/4" lines to 3/16" he not only saved money on the lines themselves, but fittings and a half ounce of brake fluid too. If I was a hick I'd just get a double barb fitting and use half of each hose. Double hose clamps on each barb (for safety) of course.
