Default Help!...'88 Rear brake line modifications for SN-95 discs

I'm almost done with my 5-lug / 4-wheel disc swap. The only thing I'm stuck on now is hooking up the rear brake hardlines to the softlines.

I bought the rear softlines from a 94/95 which mount on the shock mount on the axle. The current hardline brake lines extend about 5-6 inches beyond theconnection location for the softlines. I'm going to have to bend or modify the stock hardlines to get it to mount to the softlines. How did the rest of you that did the rear-disc swap get around this issue? Pics would be helpful if possible. Thanks!

cut the lines and re-flare (you would also need an adapter) to use the stock fitting with the sn-95 soft lines. or get the hard lines from an sn-95 and put them on your rearend.

Thanks for the pics! I'll see if I can make it work tonight, if not, I'm going to cut and re-flare the line.

Send mean email and I'll forward a few also... I ended up taking it upward and doing a loop down into a simple bracket. I have Baer brakes but the connection is similar.
