Well guys, I hate to have to ask, but I have spent an hr our so searching the forums to find a picture or diagram that shows how the HARD brake line is routed behind the front wheels.

Let me start by telling you this:

I have my '75 Bronco (with standard brakes) stripped down to the frame. (I'm about a yr into a restoration) I have taken pictures of many areas KNOWING I will forget how things go back together.

So here I am.....ready to take the chassis to the paint shop to have the tub placed back on the frame. So I am in the hurried process of getting everything back together on the newly finished frame (springs, shocks, gas tank, etc) and also rebuilding the brakes while I'm there.

So with that, I removed the short HARD brake lines that runs into the wheel cylinders on each side)....and thought I had a picture how it is configured thru the little steel bracket, etc. But I do not have a photo......and that is what I am requesting......a pic or diagram of what it looks like behind the front wheel (either one) where that hard brake line is.

Thanks a bunch

Stand by for more questions

It (bracket) "S" turns out & back toward the rear shock. The "clip" goes on & rubber from there to the cyl.

You're showing several EB's in your sig. Can't you look there...? :rolleyes:

If not...I'll try'n find my camera....... :unsure:

BB....Wish I could look at the other Bronco's as that would solve my memory problem. Those are Bronco's I have had in the past. Only have the '75 EB and F-250. It was an excellent point none-the-less. B)

A pic would really help. I don't know of any other Bronco's in my area (I live a bit "out of town")

I'm still searching the net for a pic.

Thanks BB

......and THAT'S why you are "Supreme Commander"

could I impose one more HUGE pic, most gracious Commander.....a shot of that short "S" hard line that attaches to the wheel cylinder....and how it goes thru it's bracket? I know I'm stretching your kindness.

Bow to me...!!! Bow to me...!!!

Seriously., "Alfred E. Newman" could be a "Supreme Comando" with enough posts..!! ;)

"that short "S" hard line that attaches to the wheel cylinder."

Sorry., I forgot 'bout that one. (even though I made my own).. :-"

It hooks up the same as the other end of the rubber flex hose. i.e. the hose slips thru the bracket hole...then a "horseshoe clip" holds it in place.
