    What is not right?? Brake line Ques.

    I am installing my front brake line and none of the bends seem to be correct.
    -Is this the right shape for 68 w/ PB?
    -Is it common to have to cox the lines into place,
    -or is this just shotty aftermarket parts that need to go back?
    (or my lack of skill-allways a potential in the equation)

    Pic to show my situation.

    Thanks in advance

    Pat,

    piece of cake...when these parts are shipped and handled they tend to lose thier shape. you just need to "coax" the line back in shape. IT WILL tuck back under tha a-arm and swing around to the welded bracket on the side for the rubber line.

      Yes Pat. Rich isn't lying. They will do what they have to to put these in a shipping box. Looks like you need to lay that down under the upper control arm shaft, then a short 45 degree angle downward and out towards the tire. Things should start to take shape then. Mike

        Thanks much! The line was stuffed in the shipping box. I will try coaxing it like you guys have said.
