I'm running a set of Richardson drive shafts complete with modern CV joints.

I do see two other thing in your pictures I question.What is wraped around the ball joint arm and what type of outer universal joints are you using?

It worked out just fine. The hose is 1 1/4" inside diameter and can be forced over the end of the steering arm at the bolted connection end. You don't need to touch the ball joint end unless that is apart.

I will get to check this out on my Cord in the not too distant future and post pictures.
The attached picture arrived from George, it shows how the Factory did it.
Thanks George.

The metal clamp and its position are ok. The brake hose has to loop down under the trailing arm as per Service Bulletin No 24

Overall when you get under the front end of a Cord and study it they did a great job maintaining simplicity of design within a pretty compact area.
Hat's off to the design team. The members present at the early Auburn Meets had the privilege of speaking with the engineers who designed the cars. Pity we can't turn back the clock to ask more questions.

I am not sure of the details but if anyone knows, this was a great suspension, not often discussed and light years ahead of anything else at the time.
Built from the gathered L29 experience with improved weight and c/v spindle configuration
