not sure if there is anything specific for brake lines but im sure the thinner wraps for wires etc can be used. & the brake lines usually have some play to allow to bend them away from the header, at least the 2nd gen firebird ones do. i had the same issue with the big 2" hooker super comps on my 72.

I use this DEI product to help shield fuel lines, etc.

You still want to be sure there is an air gap between it and the header, do direct contact...

Why not play it safe and move the line?

I had this issue on my 67 GTO, some slight bending moved the line far enough away from the header to relieve me from any worries.
