Camaro brake line bracket to wheel clearance?
Do those right angle style brake hose brackets that mount to the side of a 1st gen Camaro subframe tend to cause front wheel clearance issues?
Has that happened to anyone out there?

I don't know if 67 and 68 are the same, but on my car they are nowhere near the r im or tire.

Is your steering linkage connected?

Not at the moment
At the moment no, because I just swapped out to short steering arms. Perhaps that is why my Percy's wheelrite looks like those brackets are going to be an issue. I'll reattach the outer tie rods and see if the steering box prevents the wheel from turning that far.

On my car (aftermarket lower control arms), the stops on the control arms hit the steering arm well before it gets close to the brake line bracket. Perhaps you dont have the bump stop on your control arm?
