Front brake lines are giving me fits

Ism swapping 84 calipers and rotors on my 65
I have maguaghty 2.5 dropped spindles
The stock lines don't fit
Anyone have a universal line they like?
So busy with life it's hard to go back and forth to the parts store.
Any tips would be appreciated !

Re: Front brake lines are giving me fits

You need to use the 73 and up lines and run them down the upper a arm just like the factory did it. There are holes in the frame to run them into and run new lines to those locations. The end at the spindle will need to be bent a bit to line up. I clamp the banjo fittings in a vice with soft jaws and do the bends. Just go slow and do a little and test fit.
