Default Truck Manifold ABS lines

I installed a truck manifold on my drives side last night. I notices that there is maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch clearance between the manifold and the ABS lines.

I do have a different motor mount on the drivers side. Can anyone shed some light on how close the ABS lines are typically to a truck manifold?

I dont want to boil the brake fluid.

Thanks,

Phil.

if you wrap the manifold in header wrap i think it should be fine. a friend of mine had about the same amount of clearance and he had no issues with heat after the wrap.

I was thinking about moving the brackets around and trying to get some more. I will def be wrapping the lines and the manifold.

I carefully removed the ABS altogether.
