This is one of the flexible brake line-to-frame
brackets we pulled from the Lincoln. We decided
to reuse it by welding it to the axle housing, but
first we needed to remove the location tabs. |

The key to successful welding is the same as successful
painting. Thorough prep work. |

We cleaned up the axle housing where we intended
to weld the bracket. |

We cleaned up a nice spot
under the spring perch for good connectivity. Next,
we taped down the bracket so it would rest flush
against the housing for a good weld. |

Secure the flexible brake lines to the newly attached
brackets. We chose this location because it gave
the line a good buffer between moving parts.
|

With all three of our flexible brake lines mounted
we could install our hard lines to run along the
axle. We bought (2) 30" lines from the parts
store and templated the bends with a piece of bailing
wire. |

|

We secured the hardlines with the mounting hardware
pulled from the original Gran Torino axle housing. |

The Lincoln rear-end with disc brakes was now installed
and plumbed. It was time to move to the motor compartment
to install the Lincoln master cylinder and proportioning
valve. |
