I know this is shooting for the stars a little ,I have installed a new Total cost involved front end wit disk brakes and was wondering if anyone happens to have pics of the flex/steel line routing they utilized?
As an option on this site was a great pic of the front end of a 65 wit the wheel off showing the are and stock routing and bracket location .I just can seem to find it. Unfortunately a bunch of my disassembly pics died with a hard drive so I am starting from scratch . Thanks

I think I’ve got some before (stock) and after pics. Depending on where the connections are on your discs, you may need to move ‘em. I’ll dig ‘em up.
Re: 65 Front end upgrade Brake line routing
mine has a hole in the shock towers that the hard line goes thru. but you wont have towers.so you can choose where the hole will go. but I think the stock bracket area would be a good place for the junction to flex lines & a bracket pointing down seems to be the best way to go for either forward mounted calipers or rear mounted. There is a pic of Pop's relic here near the bottom of the page,kinda small pic but you can still see how they ran the lines ;

thanks for the Link Johno ,it looks like Pops has the same kind of control arms as my Total Cost involved Kit.
