[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16520696, member: 70025"] And here is the work I did to the rear-end. Rear-end as I received it from the powder coater. I went with hammer tone as my front suspension parts came in a hammer tone finish. [ATTACH=full]1671490[/ATTACH] DRIVER'S Side. I'm using -3AN fittings for my brake lines. Here I installed bulk head fittings on my brake tabs and oriented my factory brake line hose on my vent tube. [ATTACH=full]1671491[/ATTACH] PASSENGER Side. [ATTACH=full]1671492[/ATTACH] Here you can see I re-oriented my factory brake hose as the other way there was no way I could have bent brake line to fit. I also decided to remove the bulk head fitting on this side and run my brake hose directly to the fitting on the factory brake hose. [ATTACH=full]1671493[/ATTACH] Here you can see the passenger side worked as intended LOL. [ATTACH=full]1671494[/ATTACH] Here is a close up of the driver's side. You can see I placed a grommet in the tab to reduce brake line rub. [ATTACH=full]1671495[/ATTACH] I then installed the third member studs into the housing. Man, having air tools makes this much easier LOL. [ATTACH=full]1671497[/ATTACH] Here you can see where I finished off on the axle. You can also see how the brake line was ran and how close I was able to get it to the housing. I'm using Nickle/Copper brake line. This type of brake line is very easy to bend and work with. I recommend this type of line for those who ever want or need to do brake lines. Also, the -3AN fittings are really nice. With this set up you have a nut and a sleeve.
