Could somebody please post a correct picture of the brake lines on the rear axle assembly of a tr3? I moved computers and stored mine on a cd somewhere.

I tried searching, and couldn't find it, but I'm sure Don Elliott posted these pictures:

I had his printed out and on my work bench when I routed mine, but never bothered to get a picture of mine finished.

It's important that the rear brake lines are routed as above to avoid getting pinched in the metal bump stop hoop.

The final tube bend into the wheel cylinders is a really tight radius and needs to be formed carefully so it doesn't distort and close off the fluid.

Thanks to Don for having a correct car and taken pictures and thanks Tex for posting them and truer words have never been spoken Viv because that is exactly what I was looking at on this car. The lines are stock on this vehicle, but the driver side hold down was missing letting the line come up just slightly and the line got pinched.
