Brake line routing outside frame rails
Recently swapped to big block - awesome!
The larger motor with headers puts them right next to the brake lines. When the headers are hot, it boils the fluid, leaks from the MC onto the inner fenders, extremely hard pedal, and hardly any stopping power. I was told the factory put the big block brake lines outside the frame rails with stopped this problem. I purchased a kit from Fine Lines, Inc. $90 and no instructions and no pictures. Called customer service and he responded, "we just make brakes lines, we dont do drawings." No customer service either! I was wondering, does any one have a picture, drawing, or sketch to show how the factory did the brake lines outside the frame rails. Thanks for the help!

Re: Brake line routing outside frame rails
Thanks John. Seen that drawing also. Now you see why I went to Fine Lines because LMC does not sell them. Well at least LMC does have customer service and some drawing to give you an idea of where parts go.

Re: Brake line routing outside frame rails
This is how I did mine for the very same reason. I had to custom make them all though. I have EVERYTHING to make them though and I would rent it all to you for like 25 dollars a week if you just can't find what you need. (would let you just borrow it but the flaring tool [Mastercool hydraulic] alone cost over 400 bucks)
