Mock up

The rear end needed to be mocked up so I could check fit of the longer sway bar end links.I also needed to see if the sway bar mounts would affect running the brake lines along the axle housing.  when the lines were run during the first restoration they were run along the drivers side frame rail and down to the brakes.  After getting things in place, everything looks good to run the rear lines along the axles housing.

LONGER END LINKS WORKING OUT








I also took the opportunity to get the brakes put back together, big difference

AFTER






Classic Performance Parts (CCP) has some real trick band clamp clips to secure the hard line to the flex hose connections for the rear calipers.  I will use the below to connect the axle lines to the calipers and another set to connect the rear line to the T connector, since the sway bar runs behind the factory T clip attached to the axle.
