There has to be a better way to attatch this line to the rear end housing.Any suggestions other than zip ties?

Do like the factory did; cut some small sheet metal strips and tack-weld them to the axle tube.

x2. Factory had thin metal clips welded to the axle tubes. I will see if I can find a pic or two.

And for a 69 rear, you'd need four tabs. I haven't found a good pic yet, but the clips were on the rear of the axle tubes (toward backside of car) with one a few inches from the center section on either side, and one just inboard of the perches on either side.

What bracket is that?
Think of the brackets for your front end. Mounted to the sub frame,
where the hose connects to the brake line. You will need something like
those.
Scott...
I have a 12 bolt out of the car so I can make you templates of the tabs and the bracket to hold the brass splitter union to the cover bolt along with the measurements. Give me a few days...ok.

Sorry..I was laid up with the flu a few days and just got to measure the tabs on the 12 bolt rear ends I have.
One rear has a tabs 1/2 " wide 2 1/8" long bent upward 5/8 " from the bottom which are cut on 1/8 " flat stock. There is a hole drilled in the center upper area 1/2 " down from the top where it is welded to the rear.
One rear has basically the same dimension tabs except they are tapered to 1/4" wide 3/4 " from the bottom then bent upward. As far as attachment to the rear, it appears to be spot welded on.
