But it WASN'T "designed with a flex line". The flex line didn't start until
1967 per Horler.
To go to a flex line would require replacing the slave cylinder with a later
model and welding a tab on the subframe to hold the end of the line. This
car came from the factory with a hard line with a few coils near the end to
add "flex". It will work fine that way. Someone take a picture of their
proper hard line setup with the coils and email it to him.
