Front Flex Lines Frame Bracket
On a 1st Gen Firebird, the mounting bracket gets moved from the side of the frame rail to the top (not sure if this is true for Camaros too?) and requires a different bracket that looks like this:

...I just need the one on the right.
Anyone have a source for these? Classic industries wants $39.95 for the "kit" shown above and I would need 2. I am not cheap, but don't think $80 for 2 "L" brackets is reasonable!

What brake package are you using? If C4/C5 PBR then the hose routing is better using the side frame mount, not the factory disk brake top mount. I made mine from "L" angle.

I'm not familiar with the Wilwood brake line mounting location. Do you have an inboard or overhead photo?

Go to a 4X4 Shop and ask them if you can ask a tech for some.

IMO the stock drum brake and/or another bracket that allows the flexible hose to attach vertically from the bottom is the best option. If a horizontal attachment is used there will be a lot of tight bends, vs. a simple "U" with a bottom mount.

Try inline tube, they have an assortment of mounting brackets, fittings, and clips.
