Looking for some help here. Does anyone have pictures of the one piece front to rear brake line route under the car?  Thanks in advance

What is the purpose of this bracket on the left right below the leaf spring hanger?

That is a fuel line or brake line shield.

There is a hole above  that I'm assuming the brake line goes through there?

I took a video of what was in place for the old lines on my '70 Challenger when it had drum brakes on all 4 wheels.   If you PM me an email address, I'll send it to you.   It may not be perfect, but it seems to be pretty consistent with pictures I've seen elsewhere.

These link should take you to some of the most useful pictures I found:

As I understand it, the one piece line is appropriate if you're running all drums.  If you did a front disc conversion like I did, you'll need a 2 piece brake line with a "hold off" valve (and mounting bracket) that joins them.

If it helps, I used the January 1, 1970 and after combination safety switch and proportioning with the metering unit and one piece line to the rear.

Im just tying to figure out what holes the lines run through.
