Concerning your issue with the hose rubbing on the exhaust, I am going to tell you what I did to fix the issue. I would post a picture, but I don't have my camera.

I put a 90 degree elbow on the axle brakejunction block to hook the hose to and I also turned this junction block 180 degrees, this put the newly installed elbow toward the back of the car, (away from the exhaust)with the opening for thehose pointing toward the right side of the car.

Then I went to my local racing/performance shop and bought a braided metal brake hose with an elbow on one end. This hose was quite a bit longer than the stock rubber hose, about 18" long. Using this hose, I was able to loop around the exhaust tube with lots of clearance.... When going to one of these shops to get a hose like this, you need to ask for a "hydraulic hose",,, not a brake hose....the hose was like $14.00....

Ok, so my description sucks,,,, I will try to post a picture tomorow....

 

I think I got what you mean, but a pic would be great. For now, they were only able to zip strip it off the pipe which wont last long. This morning I am gonna ditch work and do the brakes because I have no patience and I wanna drive it
