im just curiouse as to why the break lines curl coming out of the master cylinder i have to run new break lines tomorow and needed to know if the spiral is relavant
No, again, look at the link I posted. And again, I laid it out.
"Under what circumstances would you put the lines on the master cyl before the master cyl was bolted to the booster or firewall? I have never worked on an assembly line but I just can't grasp this. If the master cyl went on first then the lines there would be no reason for these coils to "support" anything and if the lines were in first and then the master cyl was installed, again no reason to "support" anything, explain to this old guy would you please?"
And
"So putting that thought into play, how in the world could that master cyl be installed on the line where those coils would come into play to hold it in place? And another question, why the coils at all? The coils don't make it stronger! Coils aren't somehow going to support the master where a 90 degree bend wouldn't have.
Like I said, this is how I see it, if someone has other ideas if these guys who worked at Ford can explain it, please get the word because I don't get it."
And by the way, I work on cars for a living and have for 35 years.
Powerrodsmike is correct however in the photos it looks like the lines are line clamped to the firewall which defeats the purpose alltogether. What you want to do is make the last point on the line to anchor is on the frame since the body is what moves ever so slightly due to rubber mounted body.
