Default brake line routing question....

i'm putting my new calipers and brake lines on my 68' BB chasis (frame off resto)

on the rear calipers there is a steel line from caliper to the rubber brake hose....since this is a big block car, i have a rear sway bar. does the steel line go inboard around the bar bracket or between the bracket on the trailing arm and the caliper??? (hope this makes sense)

i'm guessing that it routes inboard around the bracket then to the caliper. any body know for sure, or have pics? thanks, Rick

The line you are reffering to is pre bent. It should also have the wound wire around the line. You will find that there is about only one way that that line will install.
Good Luck

I don't believe all the T/A lines have the wound wire, depending on the year.

But yes, they only go on one way.

Here's my 78' with sway bar, should be close to yours I would think.
