Exhaust heat on rear brake line ?
My SpinTeck mufflers have a rectangular cross section instead of oval, and as a result the driver side muffler, inside edge is falling pretty close to the brake line run to the rear brakes - about 3/4 inches clearance. Aggravating that is that the heat is going to get trapped up there between the frame rail and the floor pan. My mufflers are ceramic coated inside and out (not sure how they do that but they only have baffles and no fiberglass or steel mesh) so that will probably help some.
Think this is a problem? I haven't filled my brake lines yet so I could install some sort of an insulator tube over that area without too much difficulty. Has anyone seen a insulator tube for brake lines?
Thanks
Dan
