Brake Line Routing Issue ?

[Joe-405]

I want to put the front Tee Fitting at the left thru frame fitting is this ok ? I just dont know if it will make the car pull to one side or not. Local guys say its ok. Wanted to make sure with T-Bucket guys first.

The pic should describe exactly..........................

Pressure is the same in all parts of a hydraulic system so the routing should not make the car pull to any one direction.

I agree, with ex Junk, it won't cause any problems.

If you look at the Total Performance Plans, that is how they did it as well.

Ah sweet i don't have to change anything ! But i did order the wrong master cylinder fittings tho. And the only place i could find them is speedway.

 

[Joe-405]

Got me another issue.................... (remember my chassis is not tapered front to back) Its a solid 30" wide front to rear.

After installing the through the frame fittings i don't have enough room between the radius rod and fitting for my brake line even with a 90* fitting on it. Any ideas ?

I will post pics here in a few when i take some.

First I have to ask why you made it so wide? 26-26 1/2 is normal. You will have to run some tabs that either weld on or bolt to the frame and go from there.

 

[Joe-405]

I'm glad you mentioned that, I remeasured it is 26" wide. I was thinking of something else.......................... (i would really prefer to NOT weld these holes up either. The placement is the only spot on the inside that clears and allows me to bend them correctly.)

 

[Joe-405]

Well the only other spot is here. I still have to put it through the radiator bracket but crossing fingers it will clear........................ Hopefully this car dont like wheelies at the track cause i wont have any brake lines if it comes down hard !

I had the same issue, I ended up running mine under the frame with some tabs. Let me see if I have some pics.

This is about as good as I got for a pic, but it gives you the idea:

 

[T-Test]

Weld on or screw on brackets under frame work best with overall suspension travel. Just make sure hoses are long enough to help with axle droop if front end does come up.

 

[Joe-405]

I talked to my favorite brake guy today, we are gonna cut the 3an nipple off the fitting and thread it for 1/8" pipe so it can be a direct 90* degree fitting off the frame and tuck nicely against the frame. I will post pics when he gets done redoing my fittings.

sorry got a little carried away without thinking it through with a local guy first.

My tip on running brake lines is to be careful that you do not create any high spots in the system that will trap air bubbles making it hard to bleed.

 

[Joe-405]

Well i bought a 1/8 npt tap and i cant even drill the thru the frame fittings. So i had some aluminum tubing that was the exact size of the hole so i made my own fittings with it.
