    I'm embarrassed to ask but could someone post some pictures of the routing of the front steel brake lines from the brake line block? I have new lines but they don't want to line up.

    The line I have hooks up if I run it in front of and under the front cross member but it then rubs against the bell crank. I thought the the line was supposed to run inside front of the cross member but to get it to line up it has to be under the c/m. Additionally the line that goes to the brake line block on the drivers side is too long if I go in front of the c/m because I have to take the brake line block and turn it upside down and have it lower than the c/m. This is why I asked for the pictures. I got the lines from Walck's but am thinking that they are not the ones for my Jeep. Very frustrating. This all started because I also mounted a dual master cylinder as an up grade.

    The reason your line doesn't fit is because the dual m/c is longer than the stock single. If you had the shorter single it would probably work.You need lines for a much later (69?) to work with your m/c. Or, measure what you need from m/c to block and buy a stock piece thats close. Then measure what you need to shorten the crossover line. Have it cut and flared if you don't have the tool. That's my best guess.....................

    My problem is not the line from the m/c to the junction box(4 way tee) but the line from the junction box on the drivers side frame to the front passenger wheel. This line is the same regardless of the m/c used.
