Default Need a picture

I am looking for a picture of how the brake line looks going into the frame. I can see where the hard line transitions into flex line but Im wondering if the line I show attaches to the frame or is there another short hard line in between. I thought I took plenty of pictures taking the car apart but didnt get a good enough one of this area.

There is a 3 way brass block on the driver's side and a two way brass block on the passenger side.
These are the only photo's that I have:

Editted

What year is your lline for. My 68 ends at the welded arm in a junction block mounted to the frame. Flex line from the block to the arm. then the final line to the caliper. I can go crawl under the car and take some pics in a few, but its a 68.
the bent line on mine goes up over the cross member


it has the white label paper on it and it ends in the junction block. Thats the flex line and the crossover line to the passenger side

Not that it matters, not much room for being installed wrong or anything, but here's the closest thing found to the front line routing on my 72, I believe it was original




Seems like maybe they sent you the wrong line, time to get on the horn with them and have them fix it

This is the front lines on my 73. Seems the same as the one Mooser shows.

After looking at the pix you guys put up I pulled the line back and the tube ends up right where you guys have it, halfway between the steering box and the control arm.
The only thing I have to do is re bend the part that feeds into the block on the frame.
