I just don't see the need to make it that serviceable any more than a stock application. BTW - you should bleed the brakes on a car like this about once a year since the fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture - even more so where you live....

There! I got the last word! LOL

My hard lines on my axle tube are beat to hell after 5 years of exhaust hitting them, tie down straps, and just general abuse...plus I've never replaced the soft line from the chassis to the axle.

I like the solid line to the frame rails and soft lines down to the caliper option, I'm going to look to see if that is possible for me when I redo my back lines. IF it's possible routing wise, sure seems like a better option than running them along the axle tubes.

Lance, it might even keep a little bit of unwanted radiant heat from the rear end, out of the brake fluid.
