INSTALLING NEW BRAKE LINES

 After being out of town for several days,  I spent a few hours today in the shop installing the new front brake lines.  The manifold, shown in the photo to the right, is mounted on the wheel house just above the frame.  The brake lines serving all four wheels are connected to this manifold.  
 The photo to the left shows the installation of the brake line for the left side, or drivers side, of the car.  Notice the connection to the flexible hose serving the brake caliper.

 The photo to the right shows the installation of the right side brake line, flexible caliper hose and manifold.

This photo of the manifold shows the right and left brake line and master cylinder to manifold line connections.  The line that runs from the manifold to rear brakes is the only remaining connection.












Later,
Tom McCurry
