Default Where to bend the brake lines??

Someone who has done the granda conversion on a 67-68, all the sights I have read say to bend the brake lines behind the front wheels so the point toward the front. Originally they point toward the rear. I'm trying to get my lines run while I'm waiting for some parts, so why is that required?? I was just wondering becuase I dont really need to change one side, but if they have to be toward the front then I'll change it.

i dont know exactly what direction your setup needs to be but if the brakes are ran through the shock tower down onto where the mounting spot is... from there you just buy the brake flex lines.

hope this helps... if not i can go take a pic of my car to show you how i have mine setup and that could maybe give you some ideas

to tell you the truth i dont think it really matters which direction they are pointing because the flex lines will go where ever you want. i had just recently re-plum'd all my brake lines and mine came out pointing downward in the wheelwell and it worked out just fine. the only way i would be cautious about is if it were pointing towards the spring and control arms... because you dont want you brake lines touching any moving parts. I hope that made sence... if it doesnt i can go take some pictures of my car so feel free to ask

(btw ive never done the granada conversion so im just going off what my knowlege is with brake lines)
