What have you guy's done to hold the metal lines to rubber lines on these trucks when swapping from front drums to disc brakes. The truck has the metal clips on the backside of the A- frame and I need them on the front side to route the hard lines like factory. Can you buy the tabs and use a bolt to put it up front.
I'm worried about how the rubber brake line goes into the caliper and rubbing if installed from the backside. Any pictures are directions would be nice.
