66 trailing arm brake line

[Brian K.]

I got a March built 66 roadster, I was wondering if the steel brake lines on trailing arms should have coiled armour or not? I checked the judging guide and could not find any reference. Thanks in advance Brian

I thought I would give this a bump.

FWIW, a GM prototype 1965 pic on page 261 of Noland's Vol 2 shows no armor on a caliper brake line that seems to be on a big block car (ie. linkage and rear sway bar show clearly).

Any of you guys ever seen the early design pad retaining pins held in the caliper with TWO hairpin clips (ie. not the single clip on one end and a nail head on the other end of the pin).
