So I bought a pre-bent brake line....
Now how do I install it? I tried to feed the whole thing through the top but I couldnt string it through too well.
I tried to get the front part up through the bottom but the 'service loop' part is interfering with everything.
Does the top part go between the fender and the steering link or between the link and the engine?
I thought this would be the easy way out... not so.
Edit: I should mention this is the line from the proporioning valve to the rear flex line.

Ok, I can do pictures. Forgive the quality.
Here is a top shot where I tried to thread the entire line between the steering link and the fender that didn't work to well.
So I tried from the bottom but the sevice coil section on top won't go through at all. At first the header was obstructing it so I took it off but now the steering link is causing the most trouble.
I guess I could take the link off but I am not sure what that ensues and I really don't want to risk the airbag deploying.

I think its time to go in through the top and CAREFULLY bend it so it fits. I usually use universal sections and join them together around the firewall to avoid these complications.
