GM 10 Bolt question

I recently got a a new ten bolt done up and am installing it in the car next week. I need to redo the brake lines as currently there are none on it. What I need to know is how they are mounted and where they end for the flex lines. If you have any pics that would be cool. Thanks

I assume we're talking discs. The following link--posts 3,4,5--will show routing for the PBR upgrade and its two flex lines, if that's what you've done. The Delco-Moraine calipers have a single flex line which goes to the pass side caliper. The driver's side is a hard line straight to the caliper.

EDIT: The lines for either, I believe, are available from http://www.finelinesinc.com/ or one of the other after market providers.

I didnt get the link to the posts that yuo where talking about. I will be making my own brake lines and yeah I forgot to say it was for disc brakes. I have the old iron ones from the earlier years. Is that the ones you called Delco-Moraine calipers???

I've added the link above, but it shows the routing for PBR's. Yes, the earlier ones, 82-88, are Delco-Moraine iron calipers.

The Delco-Moraine's only have a single flex line to the pass side as I mentioned above, but if you're fabbing your own lines, I suppose you could somehow use both Earl's pieces. The following site has the clips for both sides, but they may be part of a kit:

Yeah i might as well use them as I have them here ready to go. Plus a hard line into a caliper is just asking for trouble when changing the pads. I used the link and printed off the pics for referance for when I do the lines. I will also make my own brakets as well as I need them for wednesday night and I have plenty of sheet steel kicking arond to make them. I also will weld them to the axle as well if i can.
