Default '70 A-Body Brake Line Routing

Folks, wondering if anyone might have pics of how you routed brake lines (front and rear disc) on a '70 A body. Purchased a kit from the Right Stuff but they really don't appear to fit correctly?? It's like a jigsaw puzzle!! Maybe the Prop Valve doesn't go in the stock position on the frame? Do they want it mounted just under the master cylinder on the inner? Anyone who has experience with the Right Stuff kit would be most helpful. Body is off the frame and I'm just in the process of finishing up suspension and brakes. Looking specifically for "frame off" pics, front and rear. '70 GTO

In the same boat but with a 69. Can not for the life of me figure out how these are mounted. The chassis manual has nothing for brake line locations and It blows my mind that the right stuff did not include a diagram for installation purpose. Their customer service is terrible and when asked for any visual literature they blatantly told me they have none but if I send them pictures of my brake lines they will at least confirm they are the right ones.


I will let you know what/if I find any documents that are worthwhile taking a look at.

Thanks Donnie!

Here's the issue: these kits are designed to relocate the prop valve to a new bracket (in kit) hanging off the master. I however prefer it on the frame as it came (see Donnie's pic). So, I'm cutting / flaring to fit like original. Your typical flaring tool will not work on these stainless lines, you'll need to purchase or borrow a hydraulic one.

FWIW, Right Stuff folks told me they are working on new line drawing based instructions. Big help.......
