I'm in the process of pre-assembling a few things on my 70 Bee while I'm waiting on my painter to get time for it. While I was assembling the 8 &3/4 rear end I ran into a problem. Everything was going well. Axles installed, brakes, limited slip unit, 355 gears all went perfect. The problem; I ordered pre-bent brake lines for the entire car. All the lines have a sticker saying Mopar B body 68-70 on them. The length across is perfect from drum to drum. But both lines end over 6 inches from the brass separator which is held in place by the breather tube on the pumpkin. And yes they are way too far to re-bend to make work. My question is; Was this separator for the brake lines in the same place on all Mopar rear ends or do I need to check into sending my brake lines back to where I purchased them? I bought them over 2 years ago while buying up parts so there could be a problem on returning them.
