Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:08 pm Post subject: brake line routine |
|
|
Almost ready to paint my frame and install new springs and shocks. After that I plan on running my brake lines but having a problem finding a picture of proper routine of brake line from rear flex hose to side of frame and along frame to master.
I've read bad reviews of Omix Ada pre-bent lines but that's what I bought. I can figure out most of the lines but can't figure out how the line is suppose to run across the rear ccross member to frame rail and up.
Any pics or help would be appreciated. _________________ 1952 M38 project

Hi Brad,
Got my lines from John at Midwest. The only tweak needed was
right at the banjo fitting. I'm guessing you didn't take photos
before removing the old lines. Mine were toast but they were there
along with the frame clips.
I'll have a look in the morning and see if I can get decent
photos. In the meantime search for fuel or brake line routing
or check Wes' photo pages. Might also look for harness routing
pics.

Thanks Brian. Those are the kind of photos I couldn't find. I would still like to see how the line runs under the cross member but those links helped alot. I didn't have any brake lines run when I got the Jeep..... nor any electrical, fuel or vacuum lines. Pretty much a bare shell to work with but thought it deserved some new life. Not to mention a project for me to have on top of all the other things life throws at you. Thanks again. _________________ 1952 M38 project

Hi Brad,
The line going aft along the left frame is held by three clips.
Then it goes upwards at a slight angle right at the front spring
mount where the last clip is. It turns up along the crossmember
then hooks into a clip in the crossmember before turning to
horizontal paralling the crossmember. You should be able to find the
hole for the clip. It then turns 90 degrees to aft and the tubing
fitting threads into the adapter for the flexible line which comes
from the rear of the crossmember. A U clip holds that adapter
to the crossmember from the front.
My phone is full. I'll dump some photos and try and get a couple
or find some more here. Hope this helps.
The front of the rear line runs along the frame all the way to
the master and comes from the lower left to the banjo fitting.
