Looks fine to me, as long as the flexis don't rub on the chassis or wishbones.

Can't see anything obviously wrong there..... apart from the humungous pics

let me guess, Santa brought you a new 10 Mega pixie camera and a utlra wide LCD screen 
look ok to me although black P-clips are the fashion for 2008.
NB some SVA centres have been known to fail exposed braid on the hoses - sharp edges would you believe? - to play it safe, wrap some convoluted tubing
over them with cable ties.

No rules for sharp edges amongst the rear suspension!

The hub end needs to be supported where it meets the flexi, else eventually the copper pipe will fatigue and split.

The union in the last pic between flexi and solid needs a solid mouting as well.

I made a bracket that is held in place by one of the suspension bolts and made the metal pipe to suit.

They can fail braided flexy pipes if they're rubbing against other things, like brake pipes, electrics, or similar. The braiding can work like
a file against other surfaces!

I used small Spirap for wrapping the braided flexibles from Car Builder Solutions and they went through SVA without the tester batting an eyelid.

my bet is that little yellow bung in the T piece will leak.

brake pipes
Picked up two things you might want to look at ,as your pipe gose over the diff support brackets you might get some chaffing their ,also at the wheel
hub end where you have your solid brake pipe from your wheel cylinder to your flexi hose there is no support braket .
attached some picks of my set if it helps

also its best to give each side on the T the same lenght!
it wil result in the same pressure losts both rear wheels wil act more the same while unther braking.

The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

It makes no difference whatever length the pipes are - you are still moving the same volume of fluid so the pressure is still the same.

two points, already covered but:
1) bracket in 3mm ish steel to support the flexi to copper junction near the drum (weld a bit of 3 mm strip on or hold it with a bolt head)
2) flexi looks like its rubbing the chassis?? If it is it will fail. Just slacken the end fittings and rotate the flexi to a safe position and lock
them up again.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion

Why cant the flexy be screwed straight into the wheel cylinder?

Thanks
