Can anyone tell me where I can find the rear brake line junction block mounting tab that is shown in the two pics that the links below lead to? I did many searches on the Ground-up website, but came up with nothing.

You might try calling Inline Tube and see what they say, since they remanufacture just about anything to do with brake lines. I don't know if you have the old one and need a new one, but if you send them the old one, they would be able to make a new one for you....maybe even start making them for everyone else too since that's what they do:yes:

Billy,
FYI...a 10 bolt bracket is different than one on a 12 bolt rear end.
True Connections catalog shows a "Brake Hose Bracket on Rear End (12 bolt)"...P/N BR-6821...cost listed $17.95 in my '07 catalog.

Mike & Bill, I appreciate your replies. I don't have the original part. I went on the True connections website, but it seems to be an abreviated listing, and doesn't have anything like what I need. I also didn't realize that the 10 bolt clips were different. But since you've made mention of it, I kinda wonder if I would have an easier time with the rear brake line installation if I was able to find the set-up for a Hemi equipped 1970 Plymouth Barracuda since I happen to have a Strange Dana 60 rear end in my Chevelle and the rear end cover is different than a GM 12 bolt.

my brother just e-mailed me a link from the OPGI website that shows this one in the pic below, but I might be better off trying to find one for a Hemi Cuda. I did a couple net searches for Cuda parts, but didn't come up with places that have small parts like this. If anyone knows of a parts place for Cudas that has a wide selection, please let me know.

A 10 bolt bracket is different than a 12 bolt one because the attaching bolt is in a different location...a 10 bolt bolt circle vs. a 12 bolt one. ;)
If you're running a Dana, I agree on your thoughts of possibly using a Chrysler one. Maybe a truck one will work.
Or simply fabbing a bracket up.

Yes, I understodd what you meant about a 10 bolt/12 bolt comparison, which is precisely why it made me consider the cover bolt locations of the Dana 60 rear that I have. I think I'm just gonna get the opne in the pic, and alter it with a little fabrication. Ot perhaps just make my own from scratch. I have some band iron of various sizes, so I'm sure that I have something that can be used.

Probably save you some money making your own....I made my own RH side front brake bracket to mirror the left one(misplaced or lost the RH one:clonk:). Wasn't too hard, just took a little while to get the bends right. Yet another 'custom' piece on a hot rod, and you know it'll fit when you get done unlike buying one from a supplier, then modifying it.

The Dana 60 axle was used in a lot of light trucks, so a check at a wrecking yard might be the best way to find what you need.

Thanks. I might end up just making my own. I bought the brake lines already for the rear, and since they are GM brake lines, I think I'll first see how they fit and exactly where the T-block ends up being situated in relation to the cover before I decide what I'll need to do for the mounting tab.
