1964 Plymouth Valiant Project
Working on front brake lines. They were pretty nasty and the tube nuts were stuck and stripped pretty good, so I figured it'd probably be best to make new ones.
Just started with scraps of 3/16" line. I dont like what a pain it is to pull the crossover line out (line fron distribution block on drivers rail, to the passenger hub). Without removing numerous wires, throttle linkage, etc. its almost imposible to take that line out. And if you can manage, youll bend it all up in the process. So, in instances like this, I like to make it in multiple pieces. In this case, I will have one crossover line on the firewall, one little shorty from the firewall to the pass hub, and one from the firewall to the distribution block to facilitate installation and service.
Here we have the passenger side shorty...
Distribution Block...
Drivers side shorty from firewall to D-Block...
Drivers side from D-Block to hub...
