Yeah I made my own brackets.

I bought the flex lines for the calipers and put brackets on my axles to hold them in place. Works good. I'm bending all new brake lines, front and rear.

flex lines are available at any parts store. and all we're doing is following the same route as the existing brake lines right, no trick route..

Leave your existing hardline alone other than to modify for adding the rubber lines.

For my setup I marked my hardline, cut it down and took it in to have new fittings to match the rubber lines. I dd this because I used 83 Caddy rear calipers and plan on using the ebrake. That and I have yet to find a good portable double flaring tool that I haven't thrown, stomped or driven over out sheer rage, LOL.
