I have this question in my 5-lug progress thread over in talk, but it might be better suited here.

I just finished my 5-lug/brake conversion and i'm a little concerned about the brake lines. They are the Goodridge SS lines that came with the 10th anniversary caliper set from buyfordracing.com.

With the wheels straight on the drivers side the brake line is close (about 1/4in) to resting on the side of the chassis. On the passenger side the line is resting on the hard brake line.

I examined my brother's car and the routing of the lines looks similar but his either MM or Russell SS lines are much shorter (few in), so they don't hit anything.

Is this a problem? If so, what's the easiest way to fix?

I would maby wrap some rubber hose around it by making a slit alond the rubber than kinda snap it over....than maby zip tie it out out of the way somehow.....I don't think it's a big deal the way it is but if you feel like doing something about it that's what I would consider doing
