Rear brake line differences

Hey,

Just wondering what different ones are out there.

I have got a 85' NT LWB ute here and would like to swap the rear diff into my 85 drover as the pinion is leaking and brakes are stuffed in the drover diff. The ute one is fine for both.

What I have found that the LWB has two brake lines and the drover only has one of them? Is there differences between the years and models. (as i thought the WT was the only two brakeline model).

Can i do a swap somehow easyly to put the dual line diff into my drover.

I had this prob when I converted a drover to wt spoa. From memory yours runs two seperate lines, one to each drum. On the other style it has one line to driver side? rear drum then has a hard line to passenger side. I cut the brake line holder off one diff and welded it to the other then took the hard lines of the old diff and put on the new one. Hope that makes sense, basicaly take brake lines of one and put onto the other.

Thats what i was thinking of doing. I just wanted to check. As well this is a NT to NT swap it did not make sense that the different lines were there.

cheers
