Another brake lines question. Need help with the instal plz
Hey before I get smashed, I did search and couldn't find anything that would help me. So I did my brakes last nite, pads, rotors, lines. But there was no instruction with the lines so we just put them on how we thought they made sense. But when you turn the wheel all the way the line touches the rotor which we all know shouldn't happen and is unacceptable. So pls can someone show me how they go. Here's how I have 'em on right now. Pls I'm desperate, someone help.

That seems basicly correct. Maybe that tab has the line pointing down towards the rotor too much

Not my pic. But yeah, your lines seem longer

Can you take in some of the slack on the left side of the pic? In other words, pull on the right side of the line toward the rear of the car.
Brakes look great by the way, I like the rotors.

Hey first of all thanks for the advice and the comment on my brakes. But now, it doesn't help to pull the extra line toward the back because then there's so much left over that when it "folds" on the turn, it touches the rotor anyway. And shouldn't the line be moving through the bracket back and forth depending on how the wheels are positioned?

Yeah you should thanks about buy a short brake line hose. First test with string to see what length you might need.

You could try turning the mounting tab upside down so the line is higher?

That's the way I have always mounted straight lines.
