65 Front end upgrade Brake line routing

Post by Kingspeedy2 »

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 have some stock pics if that will help.

comes out of the tunnel along with the brake line & runs along the framerail before it goes outside the framerail at the wheel well area;

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.
'cause Johno says you gotta have a sig pic! :)

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 ;
