Brake Line Extension Brackets

[mpeche923]

Hey everyone... just a quick question...   I am in the process of installing a 4" lift in my 87 chevy.    I am at the point now where I have to install the front brake line brackets....  I can't for the life of me figure out how they are going to work....   

I would really appreciate it if anyone could walk me through the process and also if someone who did this already might have a picture.....    i'm talking about the small "L" brackets the kit supplies you with.... how does this all work without taking apart the brake line itself.....

thanks and I appreciate the help...   OH and this is for the front.....  the back i figured out already

Nobody loves me??    hahaha   Actually I figured out that there would be no way to put the extended front brake brackets on without breaking the connection between the hard and flexible lines.  So I came up with a plan....  I cut a space out of the stock bracket so i could slide the brake lines away to make room to install the longer bracket..in the original location.   Then i also cut a slit in the extended backet where the brake line attaches to I could slide it back in...   

I am sure I confused everyone.... but it worked   without breaking the conection and then i would have to bleed them....

I am inside now... but I will take some pics tomorrow and post them...  still waiting for spring bolts to finish putting it all back together......  had to cut them out also    

Thanks
Mike

Vile.....

Thanks for the reply....  I figured that but after looking at it for a few i figured i would come up with my own way....  and it worked i would proud of myself...  So I also ended up bending the bracket almost flat as it was a better angle to install the lines...  In addition I was able to reuse the stock clip to hold the line tight to the bracket as well...

Here are two pics:
