1969 front brake line

[Bill Stephens]

I am installing the brake line that runs from the right front caliper to the relay on the driver's side where all the front brake lines meet. I'm trying to be careful not to bend the line and am having a hard time getting it in. Do I need to take the radiator out to do this, or is there a way to twist it in around the radiator, frame, etc..

Thanks.

Bill, I got mine in with out(re)moving anything on a 68 327 car. I used bulk line and made my own so I was able to manipulate and bend it to fit once it was in its approximate location. Which would make things a bit harder if your concerned about not messing up a pre-bent line though should still go in with the same finesse. I used the old factory line to duplicate the new one.

Dave,

Mine had the bends in it, but after a couple of hours it finally slipped into place. Thanks.
