I've got Baer's Serious Street kit on the front of my GTO and I can't seem to find a way to route the braided flex lines that doesn't result in at least some contact with the LCA in the turns. There's casting on the caliper which prevents rotating the fitting far enough upward to get the clearance needed. If you turn the fitting the other way (towards the spindle) it's too close to the spring for my comfort.

I've been running zip-tied split rubber fuel line to protect the lines during the buildup, but now that I'm getting closer to final assembly, I need a permanent solution. Anyone have pics of their front flex lines that might help?

if you rotate the hose a bit to curl away from the uca and move the retainer bracket back you should not have any problems with uca contact.

Thanks for the pic - that's the route I'm trying to take but the casting of the caliper makes it difficult. I've also got unique HO brake lines because of the factory headers I'm using, which, when I combined them with SC&C upper control arms, left limited room for the retainer bracket. I guess this is what happens when you combine dozens of non-stock parts.
