So when did you come to my shop and look at my chassis? The brake lines are not visible from the rear of the car, they're hidden by the knuckles, halfshafts, strut rods, toe rods, and dogbones. The way they're routed allows free movement of the suspension and full extension. I can find no other solution that works. Besides, I don't care what YOU think "looks right" based on stuff you've done.
Wow, you repeatedly show your ignorance RD. First of all, it's NOT YOURS. My fittings are all AN stainless which are used on airplanes, instead of inverted flares. The inverted flare fittings look like shit, imo, and that's why top car builders use AN fittings. For an inverted flare, you're supposed to double flare the lines which are much more difficult to do on stainless. AN fittings can use a single flare and look a lot better. And I don't need an AN to inverted flare adapter anywhere since most braided stainless hoses have AN ends.The ID of the braided flex lines is probably only 1/8 inch which limits the need for huge hard lines too. Not being subtle, if it were mine I would re-do all of the hard lines using 3/16's lines with inverted flares.
There's nothing wrong with the "huge" -4 lines, and in fact they're more robust than the -3 lines and imo look great too. Lots of vehicles use -4 brake lines, at least to the rear brakes. Bigger lines means less resistance to flow especially over long distances but that's not why I used them. I had a bunch of AN4 stainless fittings in stock....have you ever priced them? If I went with -3 you'd be complaining that there's not enough flow to the rear brakes.
I see you gave up your complaining about using NPT fittings too. LMAO! Did you ever notice those BRASS NPT fittings on your welding gas regulators that can handle 3000+ PSI? Always a critic nitpicking shit you know nothing about.
I posted pics so you could see why the through frame fitting is located where it is, but if you still don't understand that's your issue. The through-frame fitting can't be located where Newman put his lines as the pics clearly show, because there's a body mount there. And it's not "too high", and as I mentioned already the suspension is at full extension. There's probably 5" height difference at ride height. The C4 Corvette I posted is at least that.I'm still trying to figure out what makes a must have through the frame fitting mounted too high so cool where it's not needed?
I'm not moving the fitting now, so I needed to find a workable solution to the brake hoses, something you can't seem to understand either. Why don't you quit worrying about what I'm doing and do something on your car for once instead of criticizing what I do?
