running fuel and brake tubes on 69 stang

[WSSix]

Guys I'm helping my friend with his 69 mustang coupe. We just finished putting in Maier subframe connectors and pan hard rod. These changes are causing us to also change the routing of the fuel and brake lines under the car. Having not worked on a mustang before, I thought I'd ask for ideas on how to best go about this.

My thoughts were to simply run the lines against the floor to the inside of the subframe connectors. I'd make and weld brackets to the car so that they are secured but otherwise they'd be just under the floor and not really following a path like they do on my car.

I was also thinking we would use bulkhead fittings in order to get the tubes to pass through the front subframe since the fuel line needs to run inside the fender to reach the front of the engine. Does anyone know of bulkhead fittings long enough to fit through the subframe? The engine is a stock engine with factory fuel pump and a carb which is why we're going all the way to the front.

Any other suggestions or ideas for completing this on a Mustang?

Thanks

I thought you want to run things outside the frame rails
at least where the driveline goes in case it lets loose
so it won't damage things,etc

Thanks Bob

Currently, the brake tube for the rear runs through the tunnel and the fuel line runs down the driver's rocker pinch weld. I don't like either location honestly. There's just not a lot of pinch weld there to shield the fuel line compared to our cars. I was really surprised to tell you the truth. I figured since I would have to reroute the brake tube and make changes to the fuel tube, I might as well run them just to the inside of the subframe connectors. They would be well away from the drive line here. They would also be tucked high enough that you could use the subframe connectors for jack stand placement and not come close to the tubes. If necessary, I could run stone guard or a shield over top of them, too.

Thoughts?

If they are up high like you said and protected by the
subframe connectors you should be fine

Thanks Bob. Those are my thoughts as well. I'm always open to other people's opinions and thoughts on a situation. Lord knows I have a lot to learn yet

I ran mine on the side outside of the sub frame connectors through the fender with bulk head fittings into the motor compartment
