I know it shouldnt have happened, but should I be concerned if the 3/8" brake line i ran in the tunnel is crossed with the brake line in there? I guess my concern is that over time with excess vibration the lines could rub against each other and fail. Both are steel brake lines however. comments?

I replaced the stock lines in the tunnel today with 60" 5/16 and 3/8 brake line with compression fittings. the 5/16 was damn easy, just slid right in. The 3/8 line was a bit of a pain. I ran a wire through the new line as a guide. Worked pretty well. The bends were pretty easy to form. I just used a standard pipe bender. A few extra inches on the standard 60" line would have been nice to make it easier to form the 90degree at the rear firewall. So far so good, tomorrow I'll run the rest.

They'll fail in about a hundred years. Two items of the same material take a long time to wear out. Don't worry 'bout it.
