Hello,
thanks for all the assistance in the past, can anyone help me with this issue please ;
I am attempting to fit the top brake hose bracket, but never mind what positison or plane I locate it in there is nothing to bolt it to, I was guessing it attached to the headlight ear, but it will not match up. I have scoured the internet but cannot find a decent photo, has anyone got a photo or narrative of how it goes, the original front end was in a box so I have no reference photos

I’m sure someone will pitch in - but this looks like it should attach down towards the caliber right at the connection between the cobber tube and the brake line.
 
Thanks for replies and the very helpful photo from wingedwheel, I have tweaked the bracket so it now fits as per the photo

Ha! I just spent 30 minutes researching this question, only to realize it had been answered two hours earlier! 😆

Interesting question. I just went out to look at my '74, to realize I don't have that bracket. You can see how I installed the new brake lines with the original steel line and the original connector behind the headlight bucket.
