I have a A-H 100 (late BN-1) and am in the process of bending new brake lines, as someone in the past did a 'quick & dirty' job of running the long main line to the rear under the frame rail, I have no correct pattern for the new line. As ends are already flared & length is allegedly correct, this has to be right. Anybody have a pic or know where I can find one where the line comes thru/over the frame @ rear to the flex connection on the RH side?

Tod, Whitworth,

I posted several pictures of the brake lines installed that I think show most of the routing. Glad to look for others if there are still questions. Feel free to PM me for any other help.

One additional thought I had was to use a heavy cooper wire to mock up the bends. Unbending the tube is a pain and never really comes out well. I had the old ones to go by but if you don't getting some heavy cooper wire that will hold its shape from a Home Depot or other store might be a good idea.

Always easy to bend off a template....
