I've done a fair bit of searching and did not come up with anything, so if this has come up before my apologies. The issue I'm having is with a set of SMC Products brake lines, but the packaging also says Goodridge on it in several places so I'm not sure who really made them.
Problem area #1 is circled in red in pic below. Pic is not the actual kit, but best I could find real quick. Also, on the lines i have there are two of those points on each line, naturally b/c there are two points on the car for the line to mount. Both of those points on lines I have are too large to fit through the brackets both on the inner fender and on the spindle.
With some light grinding I got them to eventually fit through on the only side I worked on today. Problem #2 is now the factory retaining clips are way to small (New line is thicker.) to slide back in place. Is there a size up for the clip I can use, or should I try to mod the factory ones to fit?
