New F-R brake line doesn't fit

It's meant to be fastened to the rear axle via the vent tube fitting. I think it's a 1/8" NPT size that screws into the axle.

I fabbed a small bracket to hold mine, since the stainless braided hose/ junction block didn't come with one.

so the flex hose is considered far enough away from the exhaust in your last picture Tim? or wait, where is your stainless steel flex line in that picture?? i bought that bracket from NPD today and hopefully be here friday. Now I just need that flex line.
 
The first big picture I posted shows the rear hose connected to the F-R line at the bracket. It also shows how much clearance to the exhaust pipe. The last picture I posted shows the other end of the rear hose which has the distribution block incorporated into it, similar to the stock hose. (See the other pictures) I don't have a picture that shows both ends together.
