New Brakes lines are in.

I got my new brake lines from Inline tube last week and it was money well spent. When I was putting the 350 back I slipped a little and the cherry picker took off. Reflex took over and I grabbed it and that slung the motor over and BAM!! right into the master cylinder (note to self take of the master cylinder next time). At the time I didnt think I did anything since the line was sorta hanging over anyway. It wasnt until I moved it when it broke in 2 pieces. Here are the pic. Took me 1 hour to do the work.

I agree......money well spent! I installed my Inline Tube kit last week. All was done on me back in the driveway. The only line I had to tweak was the right side on the rear differential, but everything else fit great. I recommend replacing all the flex lines at the same time, seemed to make things go smoothly.

Re: New Brakes lines are in.

What happened was that when I was putting the engine back in the cherry picker moved to one side on me and I grabbed it which made the engine swing to the right and SMACK!!! dead on to the MC and that is what broke my line. The MC was not damaged at all.

Re: New Brakes lines are in.

Lesson learned next time do this with the engine out. I wasnt that bad with the engine in but I would have been done in half the time if I was not reaching around the engine.

Re: New Brakes lines are in.

You guys made my day. I have a complete set for my 68 from inline with the conversion over to power. Sounds like a piece of cake.
