running fuel and brake tubes on 69 stang

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

Thanks! Did you just go through the sheet metal part of the engine bay with like Earl's bulkhead fittings?

I'm still working on the exhaust for the car but intend to get the fuel line installed after that.

Yes i did use earl fittings right thru the sheet metal i did the return in the fender
