running new brake hardlines
 
i just finished my ifs swap on my 59 apache and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on running new hardlines to my frame mounted power mastercylinder.

Buy a good tubing bender and "double flare" tool.
Take your time.
Some people will map out their lines with stiff wire and then duplicate them with the tubing.
You will waste a little tubing so buy plenty.

Don't buy the coils of tubing, you wont be able to get it straight.

Flaring the ends will need some practice.
