BTW, I checked and my brake line bracket also hits. I will be relocating my brake line brackets.

I looked at it but the brake line doesnt have much room and still goes over the top of it and the brake line was a bit tight when I shoved it down that side to see how it would fit, I think you need a 2-3cm longer hose?

As you already know, my disc brake conversion is underway. I already have all the hardware necessary to complete the conversion, minus the materials for the brackets. But I'm looking into replacing the brake line from the hard line under the chassis to the caliper with one rubber hose, instead of transitioning from hardline to rubber hose, to hardline, to rubber hose connected to the caliper. This could give me the opportunity to reroute them, and just remove the brackets that hits the frame.

I think like Short says it needs the new hard brake line made up, I think it would be easier, just move the bracket on each side and have a new line made at a brake shop should not cost to much.

again FWIW making hardlines is EASY and dirt cheep, even easier if you have the OE fittings cut from an old set of lines..at that point all you need is the right length of line and a a lil time with a flair tool....ive made countless amounts of line over the years, get a cheep flair tool and a few feet of line cut the ends off and flair repeate till you understand what your doing..after that making your line will take only a few moments
