Need A Photo Front Brake Hose

    I have put 11" drums on the front of my CJ-5 suspension and frame (48 2A tub) and I would like to run the front brake hoses directly from the Wheel cylinder to a bracket on the frame. As my 1956 Frame does not have said Brackets I would like to see some photos of what later years might have used for this. Any help?

    I been googling but not seeing anything that really helps

    Interesting I would not have thought of running the bracket on the bottom of the frame just ahead of the bumper block. I was planning on running hard line through the frame.

    Thanks for the photos any others showing a different way would be appreciated. I like options

    Not the best photos but when I upgraded from 10" to 11" I only ran rubber line from the hard line bracket/connection (just behind the shock in the pic) on the underside of the front frame (just in front of the axle bumpstop) directly to the wheel cylinder. This is driver side front wheel. The passenger side on mine was a bit different, but I think something had been changed by the PO - but again no hard 's-tube' connecting to the wheel cylinder - just rubber line from the bracket/hardline connection to the cylinder.

    I have a hole in the frame just to the rear of the bump stop that I think I can make work nicely when I hold the hose in the position it would be once a L bracket is made it doesn't appear to touch any of the Knuckle or other places that could cause wear.

    Thanks guys
