Driver Side Front Brake Line

[Sephakrid]

Does anyone have a picture of the driver side front brake line that goes from the rubber hose to the tee? From parts diagrams I can find, it looks like there's stress-relief coil/loop close to the tee. I was originally going to put a coil closer to the firewall but there isn't a lot of room. Currently there's a line running straight from the tee to the bracket on the frame, which is definitely not correct!

The body is rubber mounted to the frame so there is some small movement. A coil or two would be best.

This is an ‘85 two wheel drive. I’m guessing this is what you’re looking for.

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for confirming what I saw on the parts diagram. Interesting that Nissan chose to put the loop near the tee instead of the frame bracket.

Just finished installing the new line! It took two tries and my line bending pliers marred the plastic coating a bit, but at least it's a bit less unsafe now. The perspective is a bit weird, but it does clear the brake booster and rag joint.

 

 

As a side note, PO apparently never bled their brakes. Every hydraulic part I've pulled off had internal pitting along the cylinder walls. What started as a single brake line replacement is most likely ending as "new brake system."

Pitting might be water contamination from never changing the brake fluid.

On bends like that, I wrap the line around a piece of pipe or tubing.
