Can someone send me or post an underbody picture of the brake hardline that runs on the underbody and the center flex line that attaches to the axle on an '87-'88 Turbo Coupe? Thanks!

I'll probably have my car on the ramps by Tuesday. If you post some pics of exactly what you want pics of, I'll be glad to snap some for you.

Okay. The attached photo shows the area I would like a photo of from a 1987-88 T-bird with dual exhaust. Actually I would like photos from both a TC and a Sport model if anyone has one. I'm curious if there is a difference in the bracket, flex hose and distribution block on the axle.

This is where my "flex hose" attaches to. It is right above the center section of my rear axle. http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/0000...G_0361.JPG
It looks to me like our connection points are completely different. This is a picture of my rear passenger subframe right beside where the muffler hangs at. http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/0000...G_0362.JPG http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/0000...G_0363.JPG
This is a view from above the rear axle looking down. http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/0000...G_0364.JPG http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/0000...G_0365.JPG [url]

The above picture is from an all original '87 TC, with a 5speed and dual exhaust.

Hope it helps.

X3,
Thanks for the pics! It looks like your body bracket is in a different location and clearly the hard line is routed different.

Any chance you can get a far away side shot similar to what I took? Trying to get a real good idea as to how the brake lines and fuel lines are routed relative to the muffler itself. Thanks again!

I'll have it on the ramps again this week. The problem is if I took the exact same shot you took, from that angle and location, all you would see is muffler and driveshaft. But, will try.
