Brake line routing

I am replacing my brake line system with the stainless kit from classic tube. The old rear axle brake lines didn't have any of the original bends in them any longer and it's making the install of the new ones difficult. My question is: does any body have a picture of their rear axle with a good view of the brake lines?

I have my axles off. Can get you some pics tonight after work.

Here are three pictures of the rear brake line. The first two look original, the third looks like it was replaced. It's a little long and is not wrapped with the spring.

 

Mine pretty much look like Walt's first two photos. No fancy bends, just hug the top of the tube and diff casting and don't let it bear hard against anything or it could fatigue. A well formed piece should not be in compression or tension, or be sprung. Not a big fan of the long loop on the third photo. Previous owner probably purchased the length of tube that would fit best instead of cutting and reforming a flare on one end to get the length right.

Are you going flare your own? Double-flare only, of course. Single flare is a big no-no for brakes or anything else that you care about. You probably knew that but because it's brakes figured I'd better mention it.

 

I need the pictures walt posted, does anyone know why there not showing?

 

When the site crashed due to an attack many of the photo's were stripped. As far as I know it's also the reason we can only link to hosted pics instead of attaching them here.

Perhaps he can find those old pics for you.

 

Thanks! classic tubes so called pre bent lines stink!
