Is the brake line run differently to the 7.5 and 8.8?

The line is mounted differently on the axle housing its self.

I did the same swap in my old 84 vert. I don't remember exactly what I did about that brake line, but logic tells me I probably just manipulated it to make it work.

Not sure if this might help you, but I might use this item from Currie Enterprises with the 9" I am installing in my 83

Bolt-On Rear Brake Hose

We are all about making things easy! This brake hose bolts right onto the 3rd. member studs of a 9" style housing and eliminates the need for you to do any welding of brake hose anchoring points onto your new, possibly already powder-coated housing!
