Re: rear disc brake help!!

I haven't got that far on my 71 3/4 ton rear disk conversion but I'd think a guy would want to place the clip so that the hose would have a natural bend without any kinks or stretch plus you want it so that you can lift the caliper off the bracket without taking the hose loose. And the usual not in the way of anything deal goes with it of course.

Re: rear disc brake help!!

thanks for the quick response. i have all of that in mind already i was more so curious as to how people attached these tabs. i know you can weld them but i have no welder. and i have seen the style you use a huge hose clamo on but i dont know where to find these tabs. or if there are different size openings in these tabs for diff hoses. what size would i need for what hoses ect. i just want to be sure before i go buying stuff ya know? any recomended hoses?
