also i have done a rear disc conversion on the rear of the sierra and had a couple lines made up. does the below bracket look ok for mounting it up. needs a small bit of tidying but general idea. may get it welded on in future when a welder is handy. any ideas welcome.
I cant use the std C shaped clip with this brake line combo.

Yeah looks good mate. From what I no, most use long soft springs to retain extended break lines (long soft break lines)....
Only thing I can think of is that if you can move that brass fitting to the top of the diff instead of having it at the front will make it a bit more protected from objects hitting it off road. Anyway just my 2 cents
Big thanks to Northern Suburbs Radiators and Melbourne Drive Shafts and Balancing for all your help and support.
The lines have been made my a pro with right ends on there.
proper radius bends, do you know what these are? as i talked to the brake people and they said most people bend them up using a spanner as a pivot point. and they only sell the hard line as straight line not curved to how i need. thats my job.

Yep cheers.
Brass bit is on the back of the rear diff. on the back was a convenient bolt suited for it from the original hand brake setup.

That hard line looks like its kinked in 2 places. Otherwise the bracket will be fine. You should have been able to get a flexable line made to screw straight into that T block though.

Ahh ok, no worries, i have another of those small hard lines at home to fit in. The flexible line will screw in but not easy to restrain it in there unless that is ok for the soft line to go direct to the block where it is.

Generally on most cars/4wds the rubber line goes straight into the block.
