Realizing that the brake lines are installed in the same position as they were originally, they are in close proximity to the exhaust manifold. Much to close for me. So, I am fabricating a heat shield from sheet aluminum to prevent the brake fluid from over heating.
I have two options. One, is to fabricate a shield mounted to the frame shielding the brake lines; the other is a shield attached to the header accomplishing the same. Attaching the shield to the frame is a bit more complicated. Attaching it to the header is less attractive. So, I plan to fabricate both styles and choose the one that will be the most effective and the least obtrusive.
Ya'll come back now...
