rear brakes layout

Solid axle cars I have seen use hard lines on the axle with a single hose attaching in the middle.  My axle was set up this way, but the hard lines in the car had a hose at each wheel.  I decided to go with a hose directly to each wheel.  In retrospect it may have been simpler to tee the hard lines in the car together then connected them to the axle at the single point.

Ford has a clever way of doing brake hoses where the hose indexed into its mount with a small tab so it won't rotate:

I was hoping to preserve both this feature and preserve the mounting point for the hose to avoid the extra work I had to do for the front brakes.  I need brake hoses long enough that when I jack up the car I don't hang the axle from the hoses, but not so long that they have enough free movement to touch the tire.
Dorman's website allows me to search hoses by many different criteria.  I don't think three are any hoses with the Ford end that are female - female and long enough to reach.  The front of the car uses a long enough hose that is female - male.  To see if I could make the front hose work I tapped a piece of 11 gage sheet as a braket and there is enough room to thread the hose into it, then thread on a union. It looks about perfect:

The piece in the image and shown below is a bit of hard line I made to connect to the drum brake.  The left end is double flare and connects to the drum brake.  They right end is bubble flare and mates with the hose/union.
