Do I need to

[Bow Tie 67]

add a loop in the brake lines from the master cylinder to the front and rear brakes? I believe the loops where there originally for chassis flex. My car has a chassisworks front subframe with solid mounts and welded in rear subframe connectors. I'll be using ss lines and was thinking I can get by without making loops. Or is it better safe than sorry as the master may also flex slightly when the brakes are applied.

The loops don't have to be there but you need enough to let them flex a bit. With the solid mounts all you'll have is firewall flex, and vibration. I've got a bunch of different tubing benders if you need them.

Try to put in some kind of bend to allow for flex. Mine have a 90* after exiting the MC and then a small bend before attaching to a "T" near the LH wheel.

The original loops also allow for booster removal without MC line disconnect.

I usually roll a couple loops around a thick broom handle to be safe. Cars flex and vibrate nevermind the twisting from engine torque and hard cornering. Don't want to be in the pits fabbing a new brake line instead of running around the track!
