1951 Panel Truck:
Anyone who's used an OEM Mustang II front end is familiar with brake line interference when using drop spindles. So today I adapted GM hoses to my MII calipers by grinding a slotted recess to accommodate the new hoses and a banjo bolt. This routed the hoses down away from the spindle and perfectly into open space. Yes, I could have used the Speedway braided stainless hose kit for this, or had hoses custom-made, but I prefer OEM parts whenever possible for on-road replaceability.
