Fit of pre-bent brake lines

[CJ2A]

This pre- bent brake line is not pre-bent very well

I can deal with the tweaking for fit, I have a problem with the pre-bent lines not fitting correctly in the stock brackets. I look at other install photos and it seems everyone has a different solution. What did you guys do ? What fittings did you use ?

Up front the original brake lines are twice the diameter of the pre-bent kits. How did you fix the front hard brake line “T” to the frame ? This kit line stuff is all to small a diameter to fit proper to the original frame mounts.

I am frustrated & want to move on. I could have saved money and time if I bent & built all the brake lines myself.

That's why I make my own brake lines..
On the T ..I dont fasten them to the frame..I just let it float..the brake lines will hold it in place...I have seen some Ts with a mounting hole in them though that could be bolted to a bracket...
Are you using stock brakes and master cyl?....as frustrating as it may be,you may need to start over with some new lines that match your setup

CPP hydro boost, disk up front & drum in the rear

I okie rigged some flat washers to be brake line clamps, it will work but I am not to proud of the look

Original lines for drum brakes all the way around are 1/4”. If you’re converting to front disks, the smaller diameter 3/16” is correct up front - if you’re retaining front drums, you should be installing 1/4” lines all the way around. Sounds like the lines you ordered were for a front disk brake swap. If that’s what you’re doing, then all good.
