Hey guys,
So I've got a 1971 Standard Beetle that I lifted with 3" lift spindles.
The problem is that the front brake lines (from metal line to brake drum) aren't long enough now that the wheel is lower relative to the body.
What are you guys doing to fix this? I can't be the only one having this problem.

i believe the super beetle front lines are used , they are a few inches longer.

I picked up some when i switched out to thing spindles reading that i needed longer ones. turned out i didnt but i think that is because i have disc instead of drums.

I used the longer super hoses and relocated the bracket on the pan. This allowed me to tuck the hoses out of the way.
