Requesting picture : underhood rigid brake lines

[PhoenixSHO]

Specially from the master to that firewall valving thingy , I scrapped everything and I forgot how its routed. Im re-doing it all.

Thanks

firewall valving thingy is the proportioning valve, up to the master cylinder.... thought i'd clarify..

I know what a prop valve is , but its usually located in the rear so if you put a heavy trailler , its gonna send more to the rear. That one doesnt do anything.

Thats a great pic though , its gonna help me figure it out. Thanks

Ford probably figured no-one would ever try hauling much with a festiva anyway but had to comply with safety standards hence the reason for installing them, thats my guess at least :lol:

as per your request

Here you are! I took this picture a couple of minutes ago. I hope it helps. I still have my old lines in a box.

Do you think Phoenix even noticed that I switched to stainless brake lines?
I still have two more to do. I have the lengths waiting to bend in the corner. I hate rust.

BK, your work is excellent! You make my handiwork look like it was done by a drunk, fumble fingered snake!



Do you have a special tool(s) or is it just years of experience?

tool

I have a dedicated Imperial 3/16 bender. There are a lot of instructional videos on youtube. I practiced on regular steel first. I can do it no problem now. It helps to do a lot of plumbing to know approximately where the bends will fall. My dad was a master plumber. He taught me a few things.

Ha! I thought they looked awefully shiny for brake lines , nice job on the bends. I got that line bender too and the flare tools that I bought when I did my lines in the taurus sho you see in my sig.
