Was gonna order some stuff from LMC for the brakes in my '72 but ran into a question that they don't have anyone around to answer. Maybe someone here can help, since I'd like to get the stuff ordered ASAP.

They have a complete pre-bent stainless brake line kit that says it's only for coil-spring applications. My '72 has leaf springs out back. Anyone know what the difference in the brake lines is and why this wouldn't work for a leaf spring application?

I would think the only difference would be the shape at the rear section would be a tad different. The coil rear widens as it goes over the diff where as the leaf is pretty much straight back. I'ld bet you could make the pre-bent line work with some minor tweaking of the bends,
