    that was a good idea ,so simple, why did i not think of that

One great tip for planning out exactly how your brake lines will run underneath the car is to use a piece of 14 gauge or 12 gauge wire. And it's simply a process of putting it where you're going to actually have your brake line. It bends easily. You can form it to the angles and the contours that you have plan to run your brake line. And a lot easier to work with than a piece of steel tubing. Once you have the wire in place, you can clip it off, and now you can take this out to the bench and you know exactly the contours and the length of the tubing that you'll need to cut. And it'll be a lot easier than dealing with a straight stick of tubing underneath the car.
