Spitfire Spitfire Brake Line Question

[TR_Jim]

I'm about to start putting the brake system back together on my Spit6 and I need advice on the rear brake lines. I have a GT6 frame and a Spitfire swing axle. When I took the rear axles out, I noticed that the brake pipes from the wheel cylinder to the brake hoses were just hanging free. The other end of the brake hoses were attached to the master cylinder pipe fastened to the frame. It seems I'm missing a bracket where the pipe from the wheel cylinder meets the hose. I know the bracket on a rotoflex set up (that's what used to be on this car)is on the near radius arm bracket. I made up some brackets to use on the radius arm mounting bracket, but after looking at the set up closer, I don't know if I want to attach them there. This would be on the bottom of the vertical link which would have some movement as the suspension moves up and down. The other end of the pipe on the wheel cylider would be stationary. So my question is, does anyone think there is too much movement here that would eventually break the pipe?
Anyone have a better idea of where to mount this bracket?

Thanks,

Hello Jim,
I don't know Spitfires but you are asking for trouble if you mount a solid brake line on a suspension part. Find the nearest unmoving part you can and locate the bracket there.
The neatest could be mounting the line near the differential, then a flex to another mount on the suspension arm and solid again to the brake drum. This is how it is done on the 2000 range.

Thanks Alec for your input. I guess I'll have to re-think how I should mount the pipe.
