      Brake Lines Art morrison chassis

      So I am about ready to start running brake lines on the 69 camaro, Just wondering on the morrison chassis if anyone has any advice. I would like to run it down the back edge of the crossmember but there are a few braces in the way, I though about running on the bottom side, but It may be easily damage there. What are everyones thoughts on the through frame fitting you can order through morrison? I would like to use a billet aluminum type clamp and drill and tap the frame for the clamps. I also am thinking about mounting the proportioning valve under the car out of site, what are the pros and cons of this? How about the t fitting that splits the lines for the left and right calipers. Plan to use 3/16 stainless tubing, what's a good flare tool? bender?, I know lots of questions Just don't want to do it twice, thanks for the advice

Size:  6.8 KBNot to sure on most of your questions since alot of it comes down to asthetics, but as far as flaring tools go, you can beat the one from Eastwood. I just got it and flared all my lines in one night with no leaks. Its fricking awesome.

      Travis, Art Morrison has updated their web site fairly recently, I think, and they have a lot more useful information available now. Here's what they do for the Camaro front end:

      I tried to bend up my own but ended up with a shortage of talent, so I ended up buying the lines from them (although I had sourced much of the piece parts from other sources). The through-frame pieces are pretty nice. Hope that helps you?

      Steve, are you running a hydratech booster? Do the lines mount to the inside of the master cylinder or the outside? Do you have a build of your car? Don't feel bad my manly ego gets me in a jam as well once in a while,
      Thanks Travis

      Hi, Travis:

      No, I'm sorry, I saw that you said that you were doing the Hydraboost and I skipped right by that, my apologies. But I'm not certain that will have a lot to do with how you plumb up the subframe--you'll have to figure out how to get from your M/C to your proportioning valve and you'll have to figure out how to get from the proportioning valve to the first "tee" as shown on the Morrison blueprints, but from there you ought to be able to follow their lead.

      I do have a build thread (https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ight=butternut) but I sure haven't updated it since July because, frankly, I've hardly made any progress. I think that I bit off more than I could chew, but as you can see from my thread, I had Prodigy create the roller and frankly, I was beginning to get freaked out about being able to get the car back, so I was pushing Frank hard to just get the car shipped back to me. Not that I was planning to have them do the plumbing--I thought I would be able to take care of it--but there is just so much to do that I've kind of been piddling around with small sub-projects here and there. When I get some time, I do have some new photos and will update the thread. Unfortunately, as seems par for the course these days, Prodigy STILL owes me parts for the brakes and now he is no longer answering my e-mails so I am trying to figure out what recourse I may have to try to get a couple of hundred dollars (cash) back from him that I paid probably a year ago.... I found Kevin Kosir at Art Morrison to generally be pretty helpful--not 100% satisfaction, but better than many. Hope all of this has been of some help.
      Steve

      Steve, I red your build. Your car is getting there, I have been working on cars since a kid, and this car is definately and learning curve, What do you have left to do? I have dealt with frank, and also kevin, The best info is this website, guranteed, these guys work on the cars, they have hands on experience and have learned from the mistakes, Seriously if you need help or have questions I would bet someone on hear has already been there done that, good luck

      Thanks, Travis, I agree that this forum is the best and the folks are really helpful, which I try to be as we'll, when I think I have something of value to add. Steven (Boostin05blacksti) has been a great person to bounce stuff off of because the products we have chosen are kind of spookily similar, and he's been a great cheerleader, too. Sometimes that's the best that you can do, especially from 3000 miles away!
