Master cylinder to H block brake line question

[FORD*DIEHARD]

Feels like forever but I am getting closer to finishing up I stalling the steering column back on and once that's done be able to burp the system and bleed the brakes.

Today I installed the column and hooked it up to the steering shaft to the gear box and noticed that the brake lines coming down from the master cylinder look extremely close , like they would get pinched while turning the steering wheel. Does this look correct or am I right and the lines need to be re routed?

I have attached some photos to help. If additional photos and different angles would be helpful, please me know what you need to see and I will get those.

I just maybe overthinking this but I would rather ask questions now and avoid any further delays by jacking something else up.

Thank you in advance for your time/help,

Sonny

If that's the inner fender they're up against I screwed it the the coil tower for some extra clearance on the 66. Other options zip tie a piece of rubber line over em where they might rub or reroute em.

Yes, that is the inner fender. .

This is what I was thinking of, but wasn't sure if it would work because the lines would run up closer to the headers. Would that still be ok?

I just ran hard h-block lines, and ran into similar issues. The factory location is about 6-9 back, or towards firewall. This will give u a touch more space between wheel well, and steering shaft. Maybe shorter lines would help?

I’m running a hydraulic clutch so I moved my h block back to the clutch location which gave me tons of room. You may be able to relocate the block and add clearance. Otherwise, clamping them to the inner fender would be a good bet.
