I have a 9" with Baer Trackers I welded tabs on for the flex lines, and I ordered a complete hard line set from Right Stuff the fronts went well. However I got to the back and can't figure out how these lines are supposed to work. Does anyone have pics of what they did. I think RightStuff my have sent me the wrong lines.

I made up my own lines to suit.. as if the 9" were a 12 bolt.
As for the bracket that would be mounted using one of the rear cover bolts, I just drilled & tapped a thread and used some GM sealer to stop any possible leak.

Thanks for the pics they are great, I guess I can call Right Stuff and see if I can swap out these lines. However it makes me kind of nervous to drill and tap a 9" I'm not sure I want to try that unless someone know of an exact location I can tap and not risk a leak.

If you drill up the top somewhere where it won't be submerged in oil, and use some GM sealer on the bolt threads, you'll be fine.
The GM sealer I'm talking about is the same stuff that GM seals your head bolts in the water jacket with.
Water, fuel & oil resistant. It's good stuff.

I just put a Fab9 in a 69 and made an L-shaped bracket to bolt the flex hose to the housing. It locates the T close to the rear edge of the housing.

Yeah I went to Don's Hot Rod shop hear in Tucson, and they had the tee with a bracket to bolt onto the third member. Except the tee is too small on the branch to except the flex hose I guess I'll look for an adapter. Or do what you say just go ahead and tap it.
