14bolt brake questions

[firemedicsafd]

I am in the process of converting my 14bolt to disc brakes. Got the parts but now the hoses don't work right cause of the conversion. I know im gonna need a bracket to hold the caliper hose to the axle for the hard line to screw into. Does anyone have pics of what they did to attach the brackets to the axle so I can copy it? Thank you!

If you make or bought brackets like what the front axle hoses use up at the frame, and use the same fittings and the clips that slide in to keep the line in place, and weld those brackets to the axle, that should work. And then have a t block in the center and a bracket to hold that.


I think that's what we did on a buddies.

If you use a real short softline, you can just cut your existing hardline and reflare it. There's a Chevette front line that works, IIRC. Looks like this:

I cut the hard line just on the far (left) side of the factory clip and reflared it there.
