Quick question- are there any major drawbacks to running hard brake lines direct to the calipers on a fixed caliper system? The Wilwood brakes have the calipers fixed, and the calipers don't need to be removed to change pads, so the only time the calipers would ever need to be removed is if I needed to pull the axles. I could do a short section of flex line on each side but am not sure where to secure them to. There are little tabs on the housing but don't think they're designed to hold the weight of a flex line and fitting.
I hope this makes sense, run your hardline on the floor of the body. then mount a tab to hold a bulkhead fitting above each side of the rearend near the frame rail. Run your flex line down to the caliper from that point. Makes it a lot more convenient to NOT have brake lines on the rear housing. Easier to tie it down for towing etc. AND the one time you need to service the caliper, you will wish it had a flex line on it....
