Rear disc brake line bracket question.

Rear disc brake line bracket question.
So I'm hooking up my PBR rear brakes on my Hawk's 8.8, and I'm looking for brake line brackets for where the flex line meets the hardline. My flex hoses have a fitting with the attached shape. Flat bottom, with a little tick off to the 10 o'clock. Figured I could find an "L" bracket with that shape and weld 'em on. -or drill/tap, whatever. Man I can't find those anywhere! I've seen pictures showing that shape being used on 2nd, 3rd, AND 4th gens, but no brackets to be found anywhere. Again, don't need model specific bracket, just need that specific shaped hole! Worst case I can fab something, but how are there none of these available if so many cars use lines with those fittings?? Am i missing something???

Yes, the more adventurous can definitely make some. Personally, I'd just snag a couple from a junkyard. Drop them in a pan of rust solvent, rinse, dry, prime, paint.... good enough. The further west you go the less rust to begin with.

Yeah, at this point I was thinking drill a hole and then file the notches. ...If I knew I could easily find 'em at a local yard, I may look into that but it's been slim picking around here lately, at least for thirdgen in scrap yards. I appreciate the responses, just though maybe there was a source that I just hadn't found yet.
EDIT- Well ya wouldn't believe it, but I found an old crusty set on eBay for $15 bucks! Just bought 'em! Should clean up pretty easy. They're for a 4th gen, but makes sense that they're the same, and they look just like the ones qwiktrip used in his thread.
