The SPC upper control arms probably aren't too terribly different than other tubular upper control arms in terms of brake line fitment. And I also don't think your brake lines are the same ones it left the factory with. So with all that said, here are some photos showing how I fitted the brake lines on my '66 with tubular control arms. Since it's a bare frame in these photos, the suspension is at "full droop" and is on the rubber stops.

All you need to do is bend the lines just enough to not come into contact with the control arms when the suspension is at full droop. You hardly need any clearance to be safe, and you can probably work with the lines you've got. If not, get yourself some NiCopp brake line and redo them yourself with a tighter fit to the frame. The most important part is the 90-degree bend right at the junction point with the rubber hoses.
