Brake Question
« on: January 22, 2013, 12:28:07 PM »
I am finishing up my front axle brake lines and need some help. Does the front axle brake line tee bolt directly to the axle or mount on a bracket? As if 9" brakes are not enough of a challange, mine came with no front brakes. I've looked through many posts and pictures (thank you Bretto, your pictures are a great reference) and can not find a clear view of the front brake line configuration.
Thanks
Bruce

Bruce,
 ï¿½Here's a couple of pics from my restoration. �Maybe this is what you're looking for. This first pic shows the "T" Fitting. �It bolts to a standoff bracket that is welded to the front axle housing.




In the second pic you see the rest of the brake tubing run to the left front wheel, but the "T" is hidden by the left engine mount.
