Can the vent thing on my housing be moved? I can't get the u-blot on either side of it due to the brakelines coming out of the brass cube. The only way would be to put a 90 deg bend immediatly out of the cube.?? Anyone else have a rear swaybar set up like this?

looks to me like you have a 65/66 rear end, based on the way the axle tubes narrow down at the ends. Those years use a brake hose block that mounts on top of the axle tube (unless the car had factory dual exhaust). Typical for 67 and up is to use a brake hose that has a curved bracket to fit over the axle tube, and the brass block is connected about 3" away from the axle tube at the end of the bracket. Anyway, that's my take on the situation base on the picture you posted. Switch to a 67 style rear brake hose.------------------ MCA Certified Judge, 1965-1966 66 GT coupe A code, Silver Frost 65 coupe modified - the White Knight 66 convert being restored 95 GT convertible/Cobra clone - black with white leather
