What about the dimple for brake lines in the rear? All of the holes were already in the frame?

I was referring to the rear Dana 70 spring perchs bolted to the original springs the front I had to cut a square out of the frame where it was dimpled for the e-brake cable to pass thru cut a piece out of another c30 frame and welded in and drill & cut the holes with a hole saw for the back bushing
