Thanks guys.

The hard brake line that I ruined was the one that comes off of the T thats bolted to the torsion tube. It goes up and around the tube from the T to the driverside bracket for the brake hose. I bought a complete set of hardlines that needed to bent and I wound up stripping the T fitting when I reinstalled this line. I used the flare nut wrench like I was supposed to, but this stuff is old and crusty. Kudos to the engineers for using the hardware they did. This obviously a dirty and nasty area of the car and most of the hardware that I have removed is 34 years old and still looks great!

Thanks j.p.! Thats what I needed. There were two stray spring plate bolts in the boxes with my '79 trailing arms and I was really surprised at how thin they were (M10). The bolts that came off of my steel trailing arms are M12, they are just too short. They do say '8.8' on them. Thanks for the measurements!
