Dual exhaust and brake lines?

[Poney102]

I am getting ready to install a 6-2 header and a factory style v-8 dual exhaust on my 65 mustang, I saw at a couple of venders there is a possible problem with the exhaust pipe being to close to the rear brake hose. My hoses and lines are new so before buying new I wanted to get some feedback from you guys.

Thanks
Dave

At a rough guess, if you've got ½" clearance through all the rear suspension travel, you ought to be fine.

Cheers, Adam.

On the 65-66 Mustang, cars with duals got a different rear brake line for added clearnce on the left hand pipe. It has a longer hose and a diffferet bracket. You also need different hard lines from the wheel cylinders.

You can often run duals without it, but watch the clearnce. You don't want that hose rubbing a hot pipe.

Thanks for the advice I will be careful to make sure I have adaquate clearance.
