HELP...Please post some pictures your brake lines!!!

[toocrazy]

Hey guys, there are alot of things I can do but one experience I have not had is brake lines. The fabrication I am not concerned about because I am a pretty darn good plumber with most any type of hose or line. Unfortunately, I lack the experience to have clever ideas to make it look pretty. I will have a pretty detailed frame and want it to look nice. I will have 4 wheel disc brakes, Porterbuilt Dropmember and C-Notch. Pictures, ideas, advise, manufactureres you recommend. Please help me, I have falled and I can't get up!!

here's a pic of mine (before/after) from the mc to the frame rail anyway... Granted you'd have a diff mc and a booster probabaly, along with a prop valve, but, this is home made at the very least.

I used straight 3/16 stainless lines and used JIC/AN style 37 degrees fittings. As far as Im concerned, other than in a all original restoration the 37 degree set up is the way to. Only needs a single flare, doesn't leak and can be loosened and re-tightened many many times w/o losing it ability to seal. Also gives you alot of options with things like passing through crossmembers. Heres a few pics of my truck.

NICE! that is exactly the look I wanted

I must ask...where did you purchase the stainless steel lines and the bulkhead fittings?

Got the lines from mcmastercarr.com and the fittings from anplumbing.com. Borrowed the 37 degree flaring tool from a friend, brand name was rigid.

Yep. Just got mine the other day. One thing though, for the life of me, I can't understand why they do not include (for extra $ of course) the tee and union fittings in the complete set. They have them, but they are a separat item.
