Russell brake line fitment question?

I am installing Russell stainless steel brake lines on my 84 C10 and they seem to be too short in the front. Are you guys running them factory routing on top of the control arm then drop down to the caliper? If not then how are you running them? When placed in the stock routing they really seem to be stretched all the way and that is whith the wheels pointing straight. Can someone please let me know how I need to route these lines? Thanks.

Re: Russell brake line fitment question?

mine did not fit real good (Earl's brand) they got tossed in a junk drawer in my garage.
I think inline tube can make them with a tight 90 degree for a better fit.
One day I'll get some that fit....

Re: Russell brake line fitment question?

What about running them under the control arm? That seems to be the only way to get slack. I am thinking about running them that way then sanding down the lip around the banjo bolt hole so that the fitting can sit flush around the hole. Good idea? Or do I have to worry about suspension compressing in that area?
