    Rear axle brake line brackets

    I have a 66 Fastback and installed a 9" rear in it.  The housing doesn't have clips or brackets to hold the brake lines.  How can I secure them?  Can I tac weld some kind of tabs on the housing that is full of gear oil? Does anyone have a pic on how they did theirs?

    Re: Rear axle brake line brackets

    The factory hard line retainers were simple little tabs of steel about 1/4" to 1/2" wide.  They just bent them to hold the lines in place.  A small weld will not hurt anything if you need to retrofit.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
