: Baer rear disks install question

I'm having a fresh powder coat put on my rear end housing. It just occured to me that I may need extra brackets welded to the housing for a Baer rear disk set up. Am right in assuming that I need extra brackets. I'm guessing, now having thought about it, that the steel line running across the rear end feeds into brake hoses that connect to the rear calipers. I would imagine those brake hose would have a retention bracket locating them to mate with the steel line going across the rear. If anyone has a picture of their set, I would greatly appreciate being able to take a look at it.

The bracket that holds the lines in the rear are held in place with a large hose clamp. I had my doubts about this when I did my disc brake conversion but it has held up well. For looks you may want to weld a piece on but for functionality, the clamp works well.
