How close - brake lines to exhuast
Any thoughts on how close is safe to get brake lines to say the collector on a turbo header? I've got one that could probably be repositioned some but will be within about 1/2" like it is.
Hum, any suggestions on bending a tight radius in a brake line?

The tight radius shouldn't be a problem but I would bend a whole new line from scratch, don't bend the old one.
1/2 an inch is pretty close, a 14 gauge steel heat shield w/ 1" of space on each side should be sufficient but I'd relocate that brake line.
