1970 442 brake line valve mystery

I bought all new brake lines from SS tubes and installed them on my 442 build. everything is good except near the rear of the car I'm missing some sort of connection that allows me to connect the line going to the back of the car and the line coming from the T fitting above the rear end. There is nothing written about the connection in both the olds chassis manual and the fisher body service manual. I've been searching but can't find anything.. Also the car was a shell when I got to it so there was nothing to sample. Thanks in advance!

I few years back when I replaced my brake line with SS I had the same issue. The stainless line was about 12-18 inches short. I called OPGI who I ordered the lines from they said maybe I received the wrong one so send it back and they would send out a new one. The new one was exactly the same. Since this was holding up my dropping the body back on the frame I went down to Napa and bought short brake line and some fitting and extended it myself. Probably not the answer you wanted to here but I was able o make it work. Maybe the line the sell for our cars is more correct for a Chevelle.
