Brake Lines

Ok here goes. There might be pics, and there might not

I painted my master cylinder with the paint in the picture. I put 2 coats on it, letting it dry for 24 hours in between. Used a fom brush. Did this on my last car and it looked great 3 yrs later

Looking at ths setup, theres line unions from the prop valve down the the cross member. My 69 has a union for the front brakes only to reach the left and right wheels. The rear line goes down, and behind the crossmember to the passenger side of the inner frame and unions there. I had to take off my headers to install these. And they still dont line up correct. Is there more bending I should be doing?

After removing the headers and driverside shock this is what I have. Now where is the shipping bend?

And the rest of the bad pictures.

vdog, I am going to put my truck up in the air, and shoot a couple of pics of my brake lines. I think from what I see, one of the new lines is pointing towards the radiator. That one is for the rear brakes. the other is for the front.
NOW, shoot a couple of pics of the new master cylinder, and the new prop valve. I will rack my truck in a few minutes, and get back to you this afternoon.

The lines you have are for power brakes like mine. Here's my setup. I had to reposition the prop valve because I didn't use their prop valve.

The only shipping bend is the line for the rear brakes that run along the frame to the back by the gas tank and connect to the brake hose.

I have to get brackets for the booster, but from looking at your pictures I see something that I need to do. The horseshoe bend for both sit on top of the frame, like in your second picture.

Ok did the Finelines thing, talk to bill again. From the first picture you see the square bend was not next to the frame, and I did not have a shipping bend.
So I bent the square toward the frame and that solved my problem.

So now assembly will start tomorrow, here are the painted parts. Forgot to include the painted headers.
