What do you guys do with the brake hose on the 7.5" axle so you can run dual exhaust? What modifications worked?

Grandmas minimum standard
And a way to get yourself killed if it goes wrong. Sorry Fordhorsemen

Thanks for the marginal review xctasy.
While I know JACook has issues with this method due mainly to clearances to suspension components he had stated those clearances should be checked through the full travel of the suspension.
After I changed this hose to the longer I had changed out the rear springs and shocks. During that, the suspension was moved through it's entire travel up and down as an axle assembly plus up and down on each side individually when the springs went in. There were NO issues with clearances to the spring, RCA or frame. There is no stress on the hose in the least in any position either. I am to have this exhaust system installed in a couple of weeks but I do not anticipate any issues.
ChristmasGT was the first one I saw to use this method that I am aware of. I haven't seen him post in a while to see if he has had longer lasting success with his.
You could always do dumps Shane. My '82 currently has them and of course has no issue with the brake line. It's just a little more of a drone inside the cabin.
The bigger question is, will you repeat that exercise once the exhaust is installed, to make sure the hose
never comes close to the tailpipe? And if so, isn't that a bunch more work than just extending the existing
hard line over to where it needs to be to use the brake hose Ford designed for the purpose?
Cheers,
Jeff Cook

Hey Darran. I would do that with the dumps but I don't want the exhaust smell in the cab. I did that years ago with my 79 Capri with a 5.0L and I used to get exhaust in the car all the time.
Thanks for the info guys. This helps a lot

82GTforME Live for eva my man. Not single anyone out, brakes are a non gloss over item, primary safety matter, and no personal injury aspects should ever apply.
Its so easy to screw up on some thing so simple.
ZephyrEFI and Dean_T pave the way to the factory way to do it.

Well I saw the part about the f-150 brake line. I was going through my box o stuff and found a braded flex line from my 1995 F-150 lift kit. Will this work for me also
Why not just convert to the factory setup on 86+ cars? It's been quite a long time but I'm pretty sure that's how I did it.
1984.5 G.T.350 had since 16y/o
95 Cobra, Crystal White
86 dual exhaust cars have an 8.8 axle which has a different set up for the rear flex hose. I tried to use 86 parts but couldn't make it work. I used 86 metal brake lines and the 83 rear flex hose for the smaller axle and then had to find fittings to mate the two together.

Currently in the stable:
83 Capri RS Crimson Cat
90 7 UP Mustang
87 Mustang GT
83 Porsche 928S
69 Thunderbird Landau
65 Cadillac Calais 4DR Hardtop
02 Thunderbird
What about 85? They have duals from the mufflers back and a 7.5.
1984.5 G.T.350 had since 16y/o

Current rides:
89 LX 5.0, 5 -spd..the Lemon

86 LX Colorado SSP 5.0 5-spd (Sadly Sold)
85.5 SVO, Finally Got Boost
83 RS Capri 5.0, 5-spd (another sadly sold)
Hard to find 85 GT cars around. So up here we have to improvise
Good info in this thread. I too am adding the dual exhaust to my 83 Capri.
A related question: How did you guys handle the passenger side rear tailpipe hanger? Spot weld it in there? Even a drill with a right-angle chuck isn't going to fit.
Thanks.
This is a postcard...I am away from the forum.
Posting elaborate stuff for something so simple isnt a good use of my time, but if it helps just someone here, I do have a motza of pictures from when I did my tow hitch design and trail fit on my 81.
iirc, Pre 1985, nothing on the short wheelbase Fox specialty coupes passenger side was turret puched for a passenger side hanger. So duplicating the driver side isn't possible without drilling or punching to fit the 86 hanger.
Easy way? You just grab some 3/8" rod all the exhaust guys use to make exhaust hangers, and pre curl it, and oxy acetaline or MIG weld it right to the chassis rail, (after having made the fuel tank safe from exploding). Then on the exhaust, same.
Then use a exhaust suspender donot/ grommet.
Sorry, I wont be re-rotating the photos, you have to recheck it in Photobucket because the accelerometer over rides the orintation unless you use edit, then back out, and recheck.....it takes ages, and aint got the time
Orange/red is passenger side.

I didn't have to drill or weld anything when putting Duels on Mine. On the last pic that Ectasy posted is a hole in the Frame rail to the Left of where his is Mounted. If I remember right, that's the Hole that I used a self Taping Bolt in. I did also however use https://lmr.com/item/PYP-HFM79/79-93...pe-Hanger-Pair.

I used the LMR hangers as did 81coupe. I had to grind the tab to a narrower profile for both sides though. I also bent the tabs, after heating with a torch, by 90* to get them to fit the existing holes.
I also used the 90* chuck and hand drill to make a hole for the passenger side bracket. Tight squeeze but with ultra-short bits and starting small it will work.
