55.2-59 brake line routing front

[FAKKY]

What do people think about routing brake line here.



I cant run it through the C-channel frame as its fully boxed (closed on inside with supports). Going lower is hard to to the cross member and mainly Control arm supports.

The line does rest on the top of the engine supports as it crosses behind the CA - which makes me wonder should I add ....

thoughts ?

if the line is fastened to the frame, I don't see a problem. I would make sure that the line doesn't rub on anything - like the engine support. I would also consider creating some kind of heat shield since the header looks kind of close to the line.

yeah its kind of resting on the engine support ...... I'll have to see if I can notch out a small area or put something there. Hard to get more line supports/clamps in place now engine is in. Would need a right angle drill at minimum.

can you bend the line with it in place ?

[FAKKY]

Probably a little ..... its copper.
Was thinking if I wrap it all in this

Should be ok ...... as not contacting the metal frame.

by copper i hope you mean ni-cop, as copper is not allowed.

that wrap would probably help, but I would try to bend the line. I had a brake line rub thru and I can tell you the results weren't pretty.
