64 disc brake swap brake lines

Newbee here. Great site! I am ready to do my disc brake swap . I have T bird spindles ( disc ,calipers out tie rod end
bearings,seals , and prop.valve) Master cyl. front brake hose,and fitings.
My question is: What if any tips do you have on laying (routing)bending the hard lines?What worked best for you ? what should I avoid, or be aware of? Any input from you GURUS would be great Thanks SleepySal

I'd recommend using coat hangers to sample route the lines first. That way you'll be able to see what kind of obstacles, etc you have to deal with.

You'll probably have to move the brake hoses and brackets forward on the frame similar to the t-bird, unless you can find some hardware to change the direction of the brake hose out of the caliper.

If you have not done brake lines before, you'll need a tool to bend and a tool to cut the brake lines, and also a flaring tool, and some brake line. I got these from Summit, but they are easily found elsewhere.

The coat hanger idea is especially useful. It is amazingly easy to bend a brake line the exact opposite way you intend to. You'll also have to bench bleed the master cylinder...

great help I will use the coat hanger tip [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bow.gif[/img] I 'll let you know how it goes.
