73 and up disc brake line hoses

Hi,

I have a question about converting to 73 and up Single Piston Disc brakes and sway bars and the OEM style rubber brake lines. It's a little complicated so I need to give some context. So last Fall, I bought a 68 Barracuda that has that conversion. That's the good news... the bad news is the previous owner did some crazy brake line routing and I have no idea how it should be done with respect to the calipers being moved to the firewall side of the rotor. For example, he ran the passenger side brake line around the FRONT of the car and wire tied to the sway bar and then back around up and over the passenger side LCA - right where the bump stop is - and then into the rubber line. So, I never got to see it done right before I took the car apart. To complicate things, the K-frame and suspension are currently out of the car so I can't pinpoint the exact location of the caliper yet. Oh, one more thing, I've lowered the K frame .5" since I'm building a BO29 clone - which may or not impact this.

My understanding is that cars with the 73 and up disc brake conversion that have a sway bar requires the calipers to be moved to the other/rear side of the disc. I know that to do that you must swap the knuckles, calipers, and mounting brackets from side to side. That was all done. I was mocking up the new brake lines and simply hung the calipers from the shock tower mount and noticed that the rubber lines have to do some pretty sharp turns to reach the metal lines at the frame.

My question has to do with the OEM style rubber brake lines and the relocated calipers. The stock brake lines have a 2-3" section of metal tubing that is orientated up, toward the UCA and away from the hard line connector at the frame. Essentially the rubber brake lines do a pretty sharp U turn back down to the hard line union at the frame. It looks like it effectively shortens the working length of the rubber brake line. I could be wrong since I'm estimating all this without the suspension in there.

Will the stock OEM style, rubber brake lines work in this configuration or are there better solutions? Will they be long enough to allow for the travel that's required? I'd rather nip this in the bud now if I need to make changes. Sorry for long explanation/question...

Thanks,
Joe
