Have fitted pbr cast iron calipers to HT stub axles.The calipers are mounted on the back.Had to grind down the caliper to get bottom bolt to fit. My question is the flexible brake line takes a very twisty path and doesn,t look happy.Is there another, say right angle fitting that would work and is readly available? Thanks

Send me an email address. Thread size for the top entry hole is the same as the botom thread.
