brake line question

One of the metal brake lines that run to the rear brakes is so close to the header you can not see light thru it. This is not good is it? Or am I make it out to be worse than it is? brakes seem to work fine even after a 200 mile trip?

Thanks

I have seen other posts on here about the brake lines (ones coming from the master cylinder and the the one bending around the frame on the passenger side) being close to the exhaust. I don't think the heat is that bid a deal. However, I would not be real comfortable if they are touching. The engine and exhaust do move and I would not want anything rubbing on a brake line over time. My .02
