    Default new stainless brake line install question

    I splurged and bought a set of classic tube stainless steel brake lines for the M715. The lines look and fit great - but I'm having a hard time installing the one shaped like a U that feeds the front passenger brake. I can't seem to find a way to install it around and above the steering box without mangling the new line in the process. I know that I cut the old one out in pieces over a year ago.

    Anyone else been down this road? Is there any trick to installing that line without unbolting or removing the steering box first?
    Thanks,
    Bryce

    Default answered my own question

    turns out that I couldn't find any way to install that line without unbolting and sliding the steering box to towards the passenger side of the vehicle a couple inches. Worked great and now all my new brake lines are installed.
    A small shout out to Classic Tube. Their CNC bender made all the new stainless lines almost perfectly and I only had to adjust a couple of the ends a few degrees.

    Now one baby step closer to being on the road. My new goal is to have my M725 on the road by my 50th birthday in January 2018. By total coincidence- both me and my M725 were delivered the same month in 1968

    I am glad you found a solution...though it sounds a bit of a job for that install...as long as its all good now...
