Will have to fab 2 short new lines down from the new MC... and it looks like I have the wrong front crossmember line (catalog listed 'narrow' and 'wide' engine crossmembers (??), and apparently I chose wrong). May just fab that one, too.
I had a bigger issue with the hoses I also bought from them; the rear 'axle' hose was completely wrong- was male/female when it needed to be female/female.

Ugh. Not so sweet on Inline Tube anymore (they were excellent for my '04 2500HD).
I got the side-to-side front line to work after 20-30 mins of finessing. Tiny short line from distribution block to driver's brake hose is not good. It's about a half-inch too short after more cursing & finessing... but more concerning; the flared end (either) doesn't fit into the brake hose female end- the flare is too wide. Figuing its garbage anyway, I ground the 'brim' of the flare until it fit [just to give it a proper F-U] and the flare nuts (either) won't thread into the hose end, and neither will a spare piece of brake line. Hose must be FUBAR.
The (4) Inline Tube lines from the engine compartment back were OK- minimal tweaking required.
Sigh.
