Going from Drums to Disc on a 66 Sport Fury using the 73 Fury spindles. Currently the steel line (new lines) for the drum brakes are in front of the wheel/spindle assembly and since they are new SS lines I prefer to use them. If I mount the caliper in the stock location (back side of wheel, spindle) the brake hose would have to go behind the spindle to mount to the caliper, which may make it pretty tight using the 73 brake hose. Are there any issues with mounting the caliper to the front side of the wheel/spindle? Does it hurt anything as far as clearance or braking performance? Do I just need to get longer hoses and keep in stock location or just bend new hard lines and start all over? Or is it O.K. to use the stock location for the steel line and caliper and route the 73 hose behind the spindle?

Thanks for any advice or tips.
