[DeTomaso] Looped brake lines question

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Loops in high pressure lines are a sort of strain relief used to prevent 
metal fatigue. You sometimes see them in factory power brake assemblies- GM 
especially. But the pressures in our brake lines and especially in the hydraulic 
clutch line are too low to exhibit much expansion & contraction. I'd remove them- 
its just extra metal that can trap air during bleeding. 
I'd also think about putting all those lines UNDER the floor for a cleaner 
look and for some amount of protection from battery corrosion (if the battery is 
in the stock place) and from debris-damage if you carry loose stuff in the 
front trunk. FWIW- J Deryke
