Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
Looking for help / suggestions in plumbing front brakes. I have a 54 Chev with a TCI Mustang II front end, and a 79 Trans Am disc brake rear on a 4 link coil over suspension. I'm running a fuel injected 355 ( Holley Stealth ram), and need to rely on the ability to slow down. I'd like to use through frame fittings on the front brakes. I'm also wondering about routing options to the passenger side. If anyone has pictures of their pluming I would really appreciate it.

for more ideas, you might go to Barnes and noble, and look in transportation section, and there will be a book on brakes. the section on hot rods is small in the book, but has a few nice pics.

Re: Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
i'd recommend a straight line tube kit from inline tube or any other vendor.
straight line tube runs better and looks better on the frame compared to coil stock imo supplement it with some short straight pieces for ease of install and minimal flaring ss lines require a good flare tool, steel lines you can get away with almost any double flare tool

Re: Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
Another question. There are 2 different options for flares for the fittings. 45° or AN 37°. Im leaning towards the 37° because they arent a double flare.

Re: Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
37 are for AN fitting only... 45 is the standard for steel line.

Re: Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
Here are photos of mine front and rear, pretty simple. I used preflared lines with fittings from NAPA and braided lines from Russell. Only had to flare about 4 ends.

Re: Front Brake Plumbing.. Post up ideas and pics
I don't deal with In-Line Tube. Screw me once, shame on you... I deal with The Right Stuff, Columbus, Ohio. They even told me the length of their largest shipping box and cut my stainless lines to that length. No custom charge. They just charged me the normal per-foot price.
Here are a few shots from my '55 2nd series layout: Master cylinder/power brake area: Manual proportioning valve close-up: VW hydraulic pressure switch & 2 lb. residual valve: Driver's rear, near the axle. Note that I have no hard line on the axle housing. I ran hoses from the rear calipers to the frame: Driver's front:
