    Default Hard Brake Line Routing in my '85GT?

    Wanting to do a complete replacement of all the hard lines on my car. Did '85 GT front to back line go through the interior under the rear seat? Or can I just a different yr. kit? I have after market Wilwood from and ready brakes to install , plus Wilwood's M/C. Pics are welcome if you have some to share.

    Thanks

    I replumbed my 85 Capri a few years ago (project still on-going.....). My original lines were run under the car, along the subframe on the drivers side.... If I remember correctly, I pretty much followed the same path with the new lines. I hand bent all my lines, did not use a kit....

    85 brake lines run under the car. My 81 Capri has the line running inside the car.

    If common sense was common wouldn't it just be sense?

    Not sure, but I could of swore my brake or was it my fuel line ran through the interior passenger compartment by the rocker panel and underneath the rear seat.

    The early cars had the rear brake line run thru the interior compartment. I forget what year that changed, but none of the fuel lines ever ran thru the interior that I have seen.
