brake line Q

How far would you allow a brake line to run un-supported? The pix below show 7 1/2" (diagonally) between the clamp and junction block. Just don't look right to me...

 

Oh that deffinently going to be fine. Ive built front ends with more unsuported areas than that, it just depends on how far and what shape, that isnt going to bounce around ya know plus theres nothing to bend it there,, dont lt people be to critical with it, youll be fine

 

Thanks guys... guess I'll run it that way

 

if it's good enough for airplanes it's good enough for cars

is that aluminum under the blue?

 

I wouldn't hesitate to run that length. It'll be fine. (and I'm pretty much the Brake and Fuel Line police around here! I love bending lines and doing it right)

In the UK we have to clip every 12" (300mm) by law.
