Does anyone have a source for the brake line retainers that are welded to the axle tubes? The OO started the restoration years ago to do an autocross car so he put insulated retainers on the brake lines. Inline Tube has a two choices, one for Olds and the other for Pontiac but neither look like the Chevy version. Additionally, if anyone has a picture of a 67 rear end showing the retainer locations, that would be greatly appreciated as well.

I have pics of mine, but not close enough for detail. I'll get some better ones this afternoon. My car is sitting on stands, so it's very accessible.

Here ya go. I was rather surprised to see there is only 1 on each side.

They are 1" from the center section.

Nothing special, just a flat stock 1/2" wide and about 1.75 long before shaping. Probably about 10-12 gauge steel. Shape to fit the line, punch a hole and plug weld on.
