1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
After cleaning up the left lower control arm it also has this bit of blue on it, probably replicate it since it was on them and I can't see any evidence of any factory paint only the white spraybomb and the small patch of black overspray from when I did the colour change.
Got all my Stainless lines and brake cables and assorted parts and clips this week, decided to try Inline Tube since they seem to carry everything I needed to replace everything included proportioning valve, all the clips and fasteners and diff hose with the right dichromate plating, stainless parking brake cable assembly etc. So I dug out all my old lines so I can match them up to see if there are any issues.
Happy for the most part but there are a couple of issues, one with my main front to back brake line needs a couple of small bends and continue on pretty much straight to the proportioning valve, as you can see it takes a bend a different direction, and the fuel line looks like it needs to be straightened out on the last 3 feet. Also the caliper lines need some redirecting or maybe replacing, if anyone has a trick to brake the old ones loose I'd sure try it, I put a bit of liquid wrench on them hoping that would help.
I'll call Inline tube to see what they think and if I can take a stab at altering these couple of issues.
