I have a 10-bolt rear in my 68 Chevelle. I am building a 12-bolt for it. It looks like I need a new brake hose T-block bracket. I have seen what I believe is a 69-72 bracket with a screw hole that would be used to hold the T-block. The 69-72 Chevelles have a T-block with a hole in it for this purpose that is an integral part of the rear brake hose. Some places are marketing this part as a 65-72 bracket for 12 bolts, but I do not see how this can work w/o a special T-block which would not be an original 68 block.

The 68 rear T-block is a separate block w/o a hole to mount it. The original 10 bolt T-block just screws on the end of the brake hose. The hose end fitting goes through the bracket and is held in place by the standard bracke hose clip.

Is there a special 68 bracket for 12-bolts that will hold the 68 T-block? If so, can anyone tell me where to get one? If anyone has a picture of the bracket and T-block setup for an original 68 12-bolt setup it would be greatly appreciated.

I am about to just buy a 69 bracket and hose and get it over with. I would however like to keep it original.
