    i mite have bought the wrong center rear brake line. Does someone have a part number or a measurement I can get? The car isn’t sitting on the wheels. It’s supported at the subframe. I thought this could be why the brake line doesn’t reach.

    Rearend housing travel is limited by length of shocks...

    No shocks and line "might" be too short, though that's a bit of a stretch(pun intended)...

    Think I have the box my replacement was in, can look tomorrow, raining at present...

    Thank you, that would be great. I went out and measured it. It’s 11” from the mount on the body to the union. No, no shocks yet.
