Brake line

Well of course well I'm trying to get my jeep on the road and doing other types of tubing I thought it would be a good idea to have rear brakes. I have a dual cylinder master cylinder which is "new" PO. When he put it in though it only goes to the front. The back brake line is connected until it hits the steel. Then the steel just loops around and never goes down. Why i dont know, if he was upgrading why not the rear attached??? anyways how can I attach this. Just to the hole? do i need an adapter. Should I run a whole new line. Also in one of my books it takes about making the pressure less for the rear wheels or something. heres a pic sorry it's not very good, but its a hard spot to get to. Oh and also the parking brake. this is what mine looks like, it is also disconnected. I am not sure where it goes and how to hook it up to the brake cable

 

Not sure why the parking brake is pictured, but that will not have a brake line running to it. It will have a cable. It looks like it is there from the picture.

 

yes I did not mean that I meant a cable. When I puch on the pedal nothing happens. I think that is a bad picture, the cable is cut right about where you see it. So anyways that cable should run to the pedal I'll try that.

 

Please clarify: Are you trying to get the e-brake working on the rear of your transfer case, or are you trying to get the drums working on the rear axle? You shouldn't have a cable going to the rear axle, and you shouldn't have tubing going to your e-brake. The tubing runs like Vanguard said, and if it's cut off (or if that is in fact a pic of a missing wheel cylinder), then the resevoir is empty and pushing the pedal isn't going to do anything until you run new lines (or at least replace the S line) and fill the resevoir. The e-brake cable shouldn't be on a pedal at all; it's on a handle mounted under your dash (verify that with another 50s owner), so pushing the pedal won't do anything to that, either.

 

yes, I am trying to fix both, the cable to the e brake has b een cut. It is kind of a pedal like in current cars. The rear regular brake are not attached and I wanted to know what I had to do to attach them. Does the line attach directly to that metal piece in the first picture?? Does the cable for the ebrake go from that are to the ebrake pedal/lever? sorry to confuse, should have done two threads.
