That's a great piece Denny, that would be a good idea to use on big block cars also.
Thanks Denny, sent you a PM

you could slip some heat shield 'tube' over those flex lines before connecting them up too.

Shiny paint causes stress.
Looks like it might be fun to disconnect the harness if you ever needed to
Great design I will be adding one

cool ,but with a r/b and raised port heads , I dont have room for that in my 68 barracuda , just ordered another rewire kit , it doesn`t use one , my existing one doesn`t either .
I have a short that I cant find , so starting over again , only thing , I`m working on 78 yrs, now , everything is way harder now.....LOL
I have braided steel lines on my master cylinder. I have never had to move my MC to remove the spark plug or valve cover though.@68 HEMI GTS @HemiDenny just talked to Sean, going to replace the hard lines with braided steel flex to the master....................
Thank you, I would rather fix it now and have it correct.

Years ago I bought a braided brake hose direct fit kit to replace the two rubber hoses to front calipers and rear axle rubber hose. The steel braided is supposed to eliminate flex that rubber hoses have.
If using the braided stainless lines, be sure there is a brake fluid resistant lining. Some of the very cheap hoses are not lined and they flex something awful. I had a friend who cheaped out and bought the least expensive lines, they didn't make it down his driveway before one ruptured.
I forgot to mention the MC relocation that I did on mine. I totally forgot about that little detail. I found an old picture on my work computer. Maybe you can see a little of it.
I think there is some misunderstanding here? Sorry if not. They are talking about brake line to the master cylinder, not the rubber flex lines at the calipers and rear axle. Hemi cars typically have rubber (hydraulic hose style which should be heavy duty enough to not flex much under braking) lines to the master cylinder so it can be unbolted and moved out of the way to get the valve cover off.
Here is a pic of the old rubber lines to the Master.....................
First test fit, Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!
