Thanks alot guys, your comments are very much appreciated. it's been almost a month since Dad passed and it seems like it's been a year... We are all okay though, getting back into the van and getting things done.
After doing some looking at my brake line routing I determined they were going to have to move... They were in the way of the coilover spring...

Anywho, I re-routed them to the front side of the housing. I built some new brackets to bolt the clamps to and modified a junction block to mount off to the side of the punkin.
The brackets were pretty simple 7/8th's square pieces of 1/8th plate and the junction block bracket is the same stuff bent into a "U".

The little brackets were drilled and tapped for the 10-24 screws

The saddle bracket for the junction block got clearance holes for the screws. I modified the junction block by drilling and tapping for the screws. This will slip in under the bracket and get bolted in place.

I welded the brackets to the housing and mocked up the clamps and lines.

That will get the lines routed safely. I still have to get the FlexKore lines to finish this up.
Thanks for looking
