No pics handy, but on drums the lines go to the back of the wheel cylinders, and on disk, the lines go to the calipers, so they are different.

I have pics on the other computer, not handy at the moment. When I swapped to rear discs on my Daytona, I was able to bend the factory line enough to match up. Basically you just have to point it towards the back of the car as opposed to the side.
i wouldnt hook a hard line straight to the caliper as its a floating caliper and the movement could eventually cause the line to break. fortunately, the factory rear brake hose will screw right onto the factory drum brake line so just hook em up and tie it back or bolt it down so it doesnt rub anything and you're good to go.
Sorry, I didn't clarify. Yes, the hard line plugged into the flexible hose which allows the caliper to move. The end that the hard line screws into is held in place by a bracket on the back of the backing plate.
thank you so much!
