Re: Brake Line Routing

Maybe the attachments will help. Keep in mind that there could have been some deviation between the drawings and actual production.

Re: Brake Line Routing

What are you going to do about exhaust ? If you are going to route it like the factory did you brake line might be an issue. I used the stainless works swap headers and they left 1 inch of room in between the header and the frame rail right where all the lines were, I did not like that. True duals required me to move all of the plumbing. I moved it higher up into the trans tunnel and the just forward of the shifter I routed them up towards the center of the tunnel to keep them away from the headers and heat. Just something to consider.

Re: Brake Line Routing

Those PDF's look a lot like the original factory line routines on my '82.

The lines from below the tank to up to the firewall are are still original on my car. Everything else I moved around for better clearance.
I've never understood why the factory front brake lines went under the "frame rail" (right next to the exhaust) when there are conveniently placed holes in the fenders that look like they were made for brake line routing. You can probably guess were i put mine.
