Hey, hey, hey! I do have the hole in the coil spring perch as shown in your pictures. Never thought that was the "bracket". The assembly manual shows a bracket but then I can't trust that they are showing me a 1966 since the book covers 1960 thru 1966. Must be a PITA to hook the hard line to unless you pull the hard line thru the hole first, make the connection and then push the hose back thru and clip it.
One other quick question. I bought a "correct" tee for the rear axle lines and noticed that the brake tee connection is an inverted flare and while the hose does have a flare connection, it does not thread into the fitting far enough for the flexline shoulder to seat against the tee with a copper washer. I suspect that as long as I tighten the connection enough, the flares should seat and not leak. Is this sound like the correct connection for the hose to tee?
I just redid my brake lines about 3 weeks ago. The flex line should seat into the tee for a few threads but mine did not go all the way to the connector shoulder. Just ran out and looked and have about 2-3 threads still showing between connector and shoulder.
You are on the right track for connecting through the frame. I screwed around for 15 minutes trying to connect on the inside of the bracket and then pushed the line out through the hole and was done in 2 minutes. The retaining clip did take some persuasion to go onto the connector.
