Am doing a front brake conversion on my 70 cuda. My question for you experts is I want to put line locks and am upgrading the master cylinder and am putting a new distribution block with a proportioning valve for the back drums and brake light switch all in one , nice stuff from ssbc. will have to put a custom brake line system to fit properly. The stock system has one line to the back and two to the front. This is kind of a stupid question but the driver side shorter lenght is curled in a loop, I assume this is to make the front lines equal lenght from the distribution block, right. To put the line lock in I will have to go from the dist block 2 lines into one and then one back into two, and then have the lenght from that point equal to both front brakes, right? If this is the correct way of running the line? What is the easiest way to do this, bending and measuring myself or is there any companies that have a kit? I want this in stainless and lookin show quality. Can anyone help?

I've heard the coil around the line is to protect the lines from damage from the likes of flying rocks.
It also allows bending without kinking the line.
