    Brake Lines

    I am about to start running my brake lines, however the pics in the manual are pretty fuzzy.
    Does anyone have pics of how they ran the brake lines that can be shared.

    Thanks

    Thank you Pearldrummer7!
    Did you bend everything by hand or use a tool?

    A decent bender will do wonders. Also there are a lot of posts on brake line runs if you search here or the other site. Or better yet, try Google and search on 'ffcars.com brake lines'.

    I bent everything by hand except for two bends near the reservoirs. I used a beer bottle for those(shorter "fat" ones, like Abita uses). Just because it's what I had. A tool would've made it neater, I'm sure!
