My brake lines start at a staging brake into a "T", 2 lines run up the center of the car to the steering rack. At the rack they run down the drag links (tie rod sleeves) to the calipers. I have a coulpe of hose clamps that lightly hold them in place. Never had them get caught on anything.

Ya mean not cut it twice and it's still too short.

yeah so far the only thing that i have done wrong is that i ordered the same size rim fro the front as the rear and i for got to add in the extra width of the beam....oops well thats fixed now so that is why im now taking extra time to make shure not to make a mistake on another part that im trying to fit...

thanks again :!:
