    I wanted to see how someone ran their rear brake line. Once you have the rear brake hose connected to the top of the rear axle, how did you split it to go to the left and right drums? Pictures are appreciated.

    The rubber brake line connects to this T fitting which goes through the bracket on the rear end and is held in place by a horseshoe clip,,,,,,,,then the brake lines go directly to each wheel cylinder.

    Yeah thats what I thought it did. But the T doesn't have enough threads and it bottoms out and wont thread on with the hose. I wasn't sure what I can do. because it worked for you.
