If you follow your hard line from your rear disk brake to underneath your swinging arm, there is a bracket that's riveted to the swinging arm (with two dome head rivets) and then the flexible line comes off and onto the rear subframe.

Where can you buy these little brackets?

never seen them for sale, or missing from an arm - but wouldn't be hard to make one out of a little piece of flat

"Disks" if you've fitted KAD swinging arms and disk brakes :D

Otherwise it would be drums... :D

Is there a chance that one type of rear arm runs the line on top and the other on the bottom? I seem to remember this from somewhere....
(Dry or Wet arms perhaps? Or maybe Moke?)

Yes dry arms have the bracket at the top, hydro are at the bottom (or ass about, I cant remember as I have had one too many beers :D )

I believe the KAD solution is to wrap the bundy tube with a little bit of rubber & cable tie it to the arm.

KAD has two tapped holes for the bracket.

It would be easy if the original arms had bolts or screws then you could just swap the brackets over. However, the original arms have dome rivets so they are fixed. I suppose I could drill the rivets out.

In fact, that's what I'll do tonight. :D

They are probably "scrivets". They are like a rivet with a slight screw thread on them. They are also used to hold the little tag on the engine block with the capacity.
You may be able to lever them out with a hammer and screwdriver under the bracket. If you do it right you can reuse the scrivet.

Sort of tried that already.

Gave a few hits and thought - "Mmmm this might knacker the bracket".

Easier to drill the head off. I can always drill and retap the holes if I go back to drums.

Just to close this one out:

I drilled the "scrivets"out last night. Drilled 3 mm hole to the bracket and then a 5 mm drill to take the top of the head off.

They seem to be made of aluminium.

Anyway, the heads drill off them real easy and the brackets then just fall off. Easy.

I'll post pictures of the rear subframe once all assembled with the go faster KAD gear.

Onwards...

The trade name I know them by is "drive-screws". I use an old knife, driving it under the plate and lifting the drive-screws slightly. It often helps to put a pair of Visegrips on the head and unscrew them at the same time.
