I'm replacing my rear brake lines with stainless steel lines, and I need to
know why the current flexible line connects to a solid line that goes
under the drive (axel) shaft and then into the cylinder.

I would like to avoid this solid brake line, if it is advisable.  My workshop
manual shows the flexible line connecting directly into the cylinder. 

Please let me know your opinion.

It is a '79 Spitfire, ready to get back on the road.
