Reroute front brake line

I'm running Hooker supercomp headers and they actually touch the front right brake line - and I think the heat is cooking my brake fluid, causing major brake fade half-way thru races...

I can have a new line custom made if I can make an accurate template out of wire or something, but it's difficult to do this accurately without pulling the engine - and I'm trying to avoid that hassle.

I've seen that others have rerouted the front-right line to go along the firewall instead on top of the cross-member. Did any of the suppliers have something pre-bent for this type application? (Fine Lines, Classic Tube, Inline Tube, etc?)

I'd buy some brake line, as well as a bender and flare tool. That'd be the best way to do it, since you can bend it yourself and spend all the time needed to do it right. Or, take it to a good race shop and they should be able to do it for you.
