Wondering if anyone can look at their front brake lines for me. In my 70, I am putting my brakes together and my front lines have got me a little baffled. They are Russell lines and there are two ways I can bolt them up. One way (how they look like they should go) points the line right into the coil spring, which worries me under travel if it will break the line. The other way points towards the back of the car, which looks cleaner and smoother, but under full-lock turning, the line starts to drag on the tire. Any info would greatly help, as brake lines would not be something I feel like having break on my test drive!! Thanks alot for any help!

I don't have a digital camera handy right now, but I will take a few pictures from my '70 convertible asap and email them to you. The car has the engine out so you should be able to see everything, if you think this will help.
