Hello, all. My first post here. I'm the happy new owner of what was my dad's BJ7.
I'm working to get the brakes functional after sitting for nearly 40 years. Many years ago, my brother removed the hard lines from the front brake calipers (the hard line that goes from the rubber hose to the caliper itself), and disconnected the hoses from the caliper brackets. I've bought a new "bend it yourself" hard brake line kit from Moss, and new rubber hoses (and calipers, and pads, and master cylinder) and just about have it all put back together again.
Problem is I'm not sure exactly how the brake hose is suppose to run, and what kind of bend I'm supposed to put in the new hard line. I've gone through both my shop manuals and two restoration guides, but nothing shows the front brakes fully assembled with the lines run.
Any chance someone here can post a couple photos of the front brake area on their BJ7, showing how the hose and hard line are supposed to run? I've got all the hardware, just want to make sure I lay it out properly. Thanks in advance for your help.
Rob
