Does anyone have a photo of the flexible brake line from the calipers the hard brake line on the front axle. I have a 16" flexible brake line. That seams really long to run it thru the original brake line shield on top of the knuckle. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I ran the long, flexible hose up to the frame and then added a bracket to the frame to transition to the hard line.  Most later model Jeeps did it that way.  On my '48, where I did an 11"drum swap, I got a fairly short hose and went back to the axle tube.  I can get a pic of either if you wish.
