Rear Brake Setup questions
Fellow members,
I have started a new project on my 67 coupe. I am installing a full Hotchkis TVS-2 suspension kit. In the process of starting at the rear end of the vehicle I determined that my rear axle assembly is in need of a refresh, i.e. sanding painting and the brake lines have seen better days. So, I want to fit everything while I am in the area anyway.
A few questions:
1. Does anyone sell the brass distribution block as pictured (circled in red)? I am open to a suitable substitute. (after looking online I found some good solutions!)
2. Where can I purchase a replacement flex hose (as boxed in green)?
3. For the rear axle hard brake lines, should a buy pre-made brake lines or go with some custom cut/NiCOPP? I have all the tools but I am worried I wont find stock lines to fit exactly to this setup. I doesn’t look original.
Tha ks in advance for you input

After more research I have found the distribution block and stainless flex line that fit my car.
Additionally, I pulled the entire axle assy. Then I will be sending it out for powder coating along with several other items. So in preparation for powder coating I have decided to weld on a couple of bracket to holld the adapters for the hard to flex brake lines. I also have decided to make custom brake lines for the rear end.
