I am forming and putting new brake lines onto my convertible. The old ones are long gone and I am unsure how to route the line once I reach the end of the front subframe. There does not seem to be any pictures that I can find. If you have any pictures of how your rear brake line is routed it would be appreciated if you could share them with me.

Thank you Greg

This, from Yellowbird's site may help. Brake Lines

I took a few pictures when I replaced mine last year on my '68. I don't know how detailed they are but if you want, I can post some tomorrow.

I used Inline Tube pre-formed lines which made it a lot less work.

Edit: I found the photos. Note that the factory original lines in these photos were already disconnected from many of the clips but still in place when I thought that I better get some shots of the original in case I needed them to reinstall the new line.
That rear flex line to main line connector was obviously the source of one of my brake issues.

x2 Why bother with all that work. Get them preformed.
