brake line routing on the G506

Post by 33rdsignal » Sun Oct 08, 2017 10:45 am

Does anyone have photos of the routing of the brake lines from the Master cylinder to the hydrovac for the G506?

So is it attached to the body or the transfercase cross member?

Mine was free floating from the MC to the Hydrovac in the general direction as the diagram. this just didnt seem right to me

Thanks! There are all kinds of tools available to make bending and forming brake lines much easier.
