    Would someone be so kind as to post some pics of their drivers and passenger side hard brake lines (wheel well) and how they are routed? I have to fab some up and I want to get the routing as correct as practical.

    Funny you should ask...I'm looking for the same photo(s) for my other project. I did find this pic from the junkyard

    I just rerouted the original lines and made new brackets out of some slotted angle I had laying around.

    I now have all of the lines in the car except the passenger side front. I had part of an old rusty front line from a part out and your pic completes the correct bend radius. Fine Lines in Wadsworth, Ohio will have it for me Monday. They made all of my lines for the Maverick and have helped me with several other vehicles. I highly recommend them.

    Thanks to all that have posted for the assistance!!
