So for all the guys that did the DSE sub.....did you make custom lines, weld on tabs etc etc ?
Mine is all assembled and powdercoated so I dont want to weld anyhting on....
I guess my best option would be to cut that line alittle shorter, bent it and re-flare it...... then drill and tap any holes where I want to mount brackets etc.
I was just curious how other guys did their lines and frame brackets for the brakes

the baer brakes come with a tab you can attach with tapping frame bolts. I rebent the lines on the 79 we just finished but if i would have thouhgt about it before mounting the engine, i would have made my own. some where I have seen some billet half blocks for holding brake line on this forum, should make it easy to attach them. It is on of the few things I keep begging DSE to make is a brake line kit.
