Any ideas for all of these brake line brackets?

There's a ton of stuff going on, on my rear end. What's the best way to go about cleaning this up a little? There's 3 separate brackets held on my diff cover bolts.

Re: Any ideas for all of these brake line brackets?

I removed the bracket for the left line, and reshaped the line to "contour" with the diff, leaving a small "U" in the line above and forward of the diff cover. It's neatly curved and looks like it was meant to be that way. I moved the bracket for the parking brake cable and attached it to the brake tee bracket. (I cut off the tab and welded it to the bottom of the other bracket). It cleaned up the look, and left only the one bracket over the lip of the pan. Sorry I don't have any pictures to show what I mean...

Here's a quick way without fabrication. I will build custom stainless lines on my 77 but this was a way to utilize what was there without bending custom lines. .
