hey guys, for those that have done this, what did you do with the hard line that was secure to the backing plate?

I took my backing plate, and cut away everything but the brake hold down. Or you can buy the hold down and weld it to the frame.

X2. Has worked well. No more gravel destroying my rotors, plus they are easier to clean now and receive more airflow.

This is similar to what I did. I made my own 'eliminator' out of the backing plate, keeping the brake hold down attached.

Or you could leave off the bracket entirely

I made a 2" brake line off the caliper and welded a tab on the frame
