How much clearance is safe for headers????

Just installed a set of headers on my third gen and was wondering how much clearance is needed around the brake lines. I pushed them about 1/2 inch away but they still get hot. What have you heard or done about this problem.

Thanks,
Chris

Mine are close too,bent them out of the way as much as possible.Still, you could add some fire-sleeve, or other heat-insulating wrap around the brake lines that are closest.
DEI makes all kinds of this stuff, used it on my starter wires as well.
