Brake Line Routing
I just finished (today) installing all new stainless steel brake lines (Inline Tube) on our 71 Burb. With only 49,000 original miles the brake lines were the original ones and ran BEHIND the front crossmember...this may be peculiar for Burbs, but I did a 71 P/U 2 years ago and as I recall, the brake lines lines were also to the REAR of the front crossmember...... The Inline Tube SS Brake lines fit exactly as the originals (with spring wrap as well) ...no problem installing (and made easier since rebuilt engine/trans is not yet installed.)..I purchased the brake lilne clip kit to ensure all was up to par. I'll be installing ECEs 2 1/2 dropped front spindles with new calipers and rotors (to include Inline's stainless steel flex hoses front and rear) along with the ECE 4" drop rear coil springs....front brake line routing to the Driver side front caliper is up and over the crossmember (secured on the top with a brake line clip) and then drops down in front of the xmember about half way and angles to the left to hook into the flex line...Pass side is similar, but angles to the right to meet the flex brake line) All of ECEs products are 1st class with tremendous customer service/support IMHO...hope this helps!!
