That was intended as an FYI for everyone. More to the point, I usually just bend and flare my own tubes when doing something like this. The factory 67 installation would have used a distribution block on the frame, so the 67 rear line will still be a short one that goes from the dist block to the rear axle. A separate line runs from the M/C to the dist block. Since the 66 in question doesn't have a BRAKE indicator light, there's no reason to run a 67-style dist block with the brake pressure switch in it.
