Hardline to flex line bracket location?

I need a picture of where the bracket bolts into the sheetmetal near the rearend. The bracket that takes teh 1/4" hardline and mates up to a rubber flex line that goes to the T on the rear.

/ive tried searches but all the pics are to far away, and i need to know the exact bolt hole it goes into.

/thanks

They mount to the metal box that holds the LCAs..any spot in there is fine, you don't have to be perfect here...just pick a spot that works. There may even be a hole already there.

Could you possibly give me a picture, b/c i have the axels on jackstands, the car is level and it just seems a little to tight, almost like the flex line isn't long enough.

And i wanted to make sure since I am using the flex line from the 4th gen rear that im useing.

thanks.

If your car is on jack stands, take a picture of the drivers side rear wheel well and I'll point it out. It's right by the spring, just to the inside of it. It's attached to the wheel well. I have my tire off right now, but I really didn't want to go out and take a picture....but if you take the picture and post it...I'll gladly show you.

And just for clarification...you are talking about the fitting that is attached to the inner wheel well and where the front->rear hardline connects to right?

Okay...so I lied...I went out and took some pictures. Here's the picture of where my 88 T-fitting is. If you need a picture that is closer up or father away, e-mail me at baskerj*I-HATE-SPAM*@cfl.rr.com (and of course take out the *I-HATE-SPAM* part). Oh yeah...and no snide comments on how rusty my baby is...she has aged well for an 88 Ohio car.

If you are looking for where it bolts to the wheel well, this might be a slightly better angle.

There is a big section that bends from the floorplan to straight up to form the back seat. A pic from under the dif. looking up to the left would probaly be the best, or at least a little more zoomed out.

/thanks for the pics though, you put me in the ballpark.

I've got a ton of pictures....I'm not sure if I have one from the diff angle, but you should be able to get pretty darn close judging from seven of the pictures I have (which is exactly why I took them). Shoot me an e-mail at the above address, or post your e-mail address here and I will send you all the pictures I have so far...posting one picture per post sux...
