79 C20 front brake line securing??

I just replaced my front end on a 66 C20 with an entire 79C20 crossmember and can't really figure out how to keep the soft brake lines in the key slot. I tried bending down a little thinking that would pinch it in there, but it is less than satisfactory and I think it would work it's way out fairly easily.
How the heck are these held in there?

Uh, never mind. I found a pic and feel like an idiot. That keyhole just locates it properly, it's secured with a bolt and nut.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
