66 Brake Lines

i redid all the brakes on my 66 a year or so ago, complete with the front and rear rubber lines. I had my exhaust moved the other day to accomodate a bigger hitch and now I'm worried that if i load the truck to max that the exhaust may hit the rear line.

has anyone found someone that makes SS lines with that weird T fitting on it?

I wouldnt mind changing the front lines to SS also. Thanks

I managed to get a picture from someone off the street that wanted to put it on his site! Can't see the dirt in this pic, and yes that wiper is a slapper!

www.inlinetube.com I used the stainless fuel line from them. Perfect fit.

Keep in mind that their sets are for stock -- for a front disk brake conversion, you *might* be able to use a set from a 67-70. And maybe not.

tojo, There should be rubber bump blocks down there to keep things from smashing together.

If ya gotta have new ss brake lines, ya gotta have them, but I don't think it is necessary. IMHO

You don't want your rubber brake lines to touch your exhaust, even if they have the SS mesh around them. They are still rubber and susceptible to heat.
