Need photo Challenger Brake Line route across Firewall - 03/10/11 04:37 AM

Can someone post a photo of correct path across the firewall of the Front Right Side Brake line? I want to make sure my bends are correct.

Thanks, Joe

There are a couple 71 cuda firewall pics on RestoRicks website. I imagine the Challenger would use the same brake line routing????

I was thinking that when I posted the picture, I think when it comes thru the rubber flap, if is for drum brakes? Cause this car had drum originally and I remember the lines coming thru the flap. I may be wrong about that but that's what I recall.

Excellent Pic Gary. Thanks for posting it. One interesting thing I have noticed is that my car does not have that far right hold down clip it just has the 2 on the left.

Thanks again Gary, Happy Birthday too.

Thats because the 70 brake line routs different on the pass side then the 71 up line. The 71 and up cars had the pass side brake line UP over the frame rail ( not under like the above pics) on the line goes through the rubber splash sheild. Yes BOTH af my cars are 71 DISK brake. Maybe some very early build 71 cars are like Garys pics above. The 70 line also take a shortcut from the firewall to the inner fender and does not go into the corner like a 71 up line and thats why the last clip on the firewall is missing.
