    Well, I thought I had taken enough pictures during tear down, guess not. I need some pics/help on the brake line lay out on this thing (especially the routing from the master cylinder to the front axle).
    Single cylinder master cylinder. 10" Drum Brakes. Thanks,

    On my 65.... master cylinder along frame rail to T valve (mounted on frame above the axle). From the T valve along the axle to a clip on the side of the frame above the knuckle. From the clip it fastens to a braided line that connects to the wheel cylinder. Hope that helps...

    i have 10" brakes but with a duel master but they should be simular. from the master the two front lines go along the left frame rail. the FL line stops at the flex line braket. the FR line keeps going forward untill the front crossmember and follows it to the right frame rail and stops at the flex hose braket. the rear line goes along the the left frame rail. then it turns at the crossmember above the rear axle and stops at the rear facing hole in that crossmember. hope that helps, i dont have the jeep at home so i cant take pics and i dont remember what the T block near the masrter looks like.

    Thanks guys. I've now learned ALOT about bending and flairing. Wish I would've tried this before ordering that expensive kit. Pics helped alot.
