[Spridgets] Somebody calm my mind....

I must be coming in late on this one, as I donlt know who's asking the question. If I can get his email address, I'd be happy to send him a few pictures of the coiled hard line.

But it WASN'T "designed with a flex line". The flex line didn't start until 
1967 per Horler.
To go to a flex line would require replacing the slave cylinder with a later 
model and welding a tab on the subframe to hold the end of the line. This 
car came from the factory with a hard line with a few coils near the end to 
add "flex". It will work fine that way. Someone take a picture of their 
proper hard line setup with the coils and email it to him.
