Terry,
I have a '75 that has the same bracket. I believe mine also had a mounting
bracket for a square plastic reservoir that mounts on the same locatioN
(came with the car but unattached). I searched my British Leyland 1500
Workshop Manual which has very detailed illustrations of everything, but
haven't located info on that yet.
The front brake hoses need to be disconnected (or at least loosened) from
the frame first, otherwise you can't spin the hose off the caliper without
twisting the hose. The sequence would be: remove brake line from hose at
frame mount, then remove (or loosen) nut that hold hose to the frame. Just
be careful where the brake fluid goes, as it likes to remove paint!
