Need help with MII calipers/flex brake line

I'm putting the brakes on my frame and am not sure if this will work or if this is how other MII guys routed their flex brake lines.





I did turn the steering lock to lock and it doesn't bind or pinch the flex hose. There are tabs cast into the caliper that force the hose to come off the caliper in one direction and with the bleeder valve on the top, the hose is forced in this direction.

Thanks,
Jeff

When in doubt, look at how the factory did it. I looked at a few cars in the junkyard.
IMHO, I believe you are correct, and that is how I ran mine. I think you will be safe.

Thats the same way we run ours in the shop. Works every time. For those of you wanting an OEM look, use the 88-93 camaro/fbird front hose. Happy Holidays.

As long as nothing gets overstretched,pinched,kinked or abraided you should be good to go.
I actually 'clearanced' the tabs at my caliper at the flexi/banjo mounting to allow a little more rotation to play with.
