Those with Earls SS Brake Lines - ? Within
So i purchased the earls SS brake line kit and have the front all apart.
I disconnected the stock line which has a bracket that secures the line to the inner fender well - on the new earls hoses there is no such bracket and the bracket cannot be taken off the stock line.
I tried to just connect the lines, but it just has entirely too much play for my liking - as the tension from the stock lines are making the brake lines rest on the bottom of the upper control arm...
Does anyone have this kit? what did you do?
I actually tried to call earls to ask them about this and they had No Clue on what i was talking about.
Thanks in advance.

I have them on mine and remember the same problem. If you look at the bracket I believe there is a nut of some sort on the top or bottom that will unscrew and allow you to use the factory brackets. It has been a long time since I did those. If this doesn't help let me know and I will get in there and look again at what I did.
