I hope this picture shows up for you guys.

I took my 74 Nova in for an inspection and the tech failed me for having improperly mounted rear brake lines. It's been this way for 7+ years and this is the first time it's been flagged.

The rubber lines are supposed to be fixed to the axle in some way. Any suggestions on a good way to set that up? Rear kit is a Right Stuff disc conversion on a stock 10-bolt that used to be a drum setup.

Mig weld a bracket that holds the brake hose to the axle housing and use shorter brake lines on the axle. The brackets are pretty common from circle track suppliers, etc.

I can see why they failed it. There are all sorts of suppliers for weld on brake line mount tabs. Here's one from Speedway Motors.
