Question Routing brake lines, need help!

Hey everyone, new guy here. Anyways i just scored a 1995 corolla for dirt cheap. only issue is that the rear brake lines, the hard ones, were both rotted and leaking. previous owner started to remove em and wound up cutting them half way, leaving the front half of th line from the proportioning vale still there. once i got the car, i removed the lines completely and just got the brand new pre-bent ones. However, i cant quite seem to figure out how to route the lines around the fuel tank, rear sway bar, etc. anybody with some sketches/doodles or under car images would be great! the pic i have from alldata (got it from a local mechanic) shows the lines and nothing else, basically just a parts number reference. any help would be greatly appreciated! need to get this thing on the road asap!! TIA!!

Sorry I didnt take any pics when I did this job a short while back. You'll have to do some bending to get those pre-bent lines in place but it can be done. This car was one of the more difficult ones I have done due to all the bends in the lines.

Yea I think i may have figured it out partially, but I'm not a hundre percent sure how it's supposed to come out on th right rear to th drum itself. And do u remember if th lines went over or under that front left corner of th gas tank? Thanks speedy

Honestly I've always thought it was easier to get the lines in a roll and just bend your own. As long as they're away from moving parts and tucked away so they're not the low point you're fine.

Where were you able to buy the pre-bent brake lines?
