I purchased all the (drums) brake lines to redo my 67 but decided to throw a 12 bolt in. My question is, has anyone redone the 10 bolt bracket to fit on the 12 bolt and use all the 10 bolt (hard and soft) lines? How did you do it? I do have a 12 bolt bracket and thought maybe I could buy a rubber rear hose for a 69-72 and be done with it. But it looks like I would have to buy the axle lines for a 69-72 also, plus I don't know if the 67 front to rear line would work then?? Any help would be great!! Thanks

For my 68 Camino I put a 12 bolt in and reused all my 10 bolt brake line stuff. Not sure if 67 might be different. I dont think it is "correct" but it all works fine.

I did that last fall. 10 bolt to 12 bolt. I could not get the rear lines off of the brass junction box, so I cut them and replaced them. Perfect fit from Ground up with the correct bends.
I got a 12 bolt bracket and it expects the 12 bolt junction box with the bolt going through it. The 10 bolt box is a lot smaller with no bolt hole. I did not want to change the rubber hose from the frame area.
So I just mounted the 10 bolt junction box to the 12 bolt bracket with a bolt and a couple of wide washers to lock the box to the bracket. Actually worked pretty good and used all my 10 bolt stuff, except the 2 new lines to the brakes.

Yep, broke it in in the fall before the motor came out. I'll go through the steps again though since it wasn't driven much.....
