Good morning fellow Nova thugs, gangsters, brothers and fellows.

Reworking the brakes on my 72 and really trying to re-use the existing brackets and brake hold down clips. I got overly eager and removed a bracket without taking photos of where it attaches and how it works.

If anyone has original or semi-original brake lines and brackets in place and can shoot a few photos for me I would appreciate it.

It’s a bracket that holds the two front brake lines vertically. It should be near your power steering box somewhere. Looks like this but I’m not sure I have this oriented correctly. The hard lines had little rubber boots on them where this clamped. Almost looked like a piece of rubber hose that was sliced to fit over the line.

Bro, I looked everywhere for that bracket under my hood. Not anything like it although the MEATHTRAP has been molested by a meth-head so no telling where it would be if it was originally there...

Is it maybe on the frame rails? I have pictures of mine but I think they differ from your setup. I'll post if you want. lemme know.
