Poor Planning

[rich-allen]

I was in the same position you are but I didn't want ugly tabs or brake lines on my housing. I ran the front to rear line using the stock location, then used a T and ran a hard line tight against the body to the other side.

The hard line is secured midway across the car using a clip welded to the original rear end bump stop. I removed the bump stop because I'm running a Chris Alston 4 link.


I might have some pictures. Let me know if you want me to look for them.

Kenny Davis Hot Rods make some really cool clips for Brake, Air & Fuel Lines that you may be interested in.

Here they are on Rad Rides Cuda.

buy the brake line tabs, and some 3 inch stainless hose clamps, paint the clamps black and clamp the brackets on the axle.

Id weld them. We had the 3 inch clamps and they moved, chipping off the paint. So we had to repaint. If you can weld it you should.

I just reread it, you already powercoated it.

Thanks for the help guys! After posting and thinking about it for a day, I will just run the line down the stock location and T off and run it along the body to the other side. I agree that it will look a lot cleaner than having the lines on the axle as well. I couldn't see the forest for the trees so to speak.

Thanks again for the help!

Like everything else we do with these cars, going the extra mile and a little cash always solves the problem.

Good luck,

Kind of ghetto, but how about body panel adhesive ?? Grind off a tiny spot and "glue" the tab on.... if it can hold a body panel, it should hold a brake line tab...
