I bought these from summit racing as my old ones were cracking.
http://summitracing.com/parts/RUS-693010/
Should be a direct bolt in. On my old fox they fit fine with the brackets and all. The ones I got don't fit into the brackets where the soft lines meet the hardlines. There is a clip on both sides of the bracket to hold the soft line in there and the bolt doesnt fit through the bracket to where I can get the clip on the side of the hardline.

Anyone else have this problem?? calling summit tomorrow to see what the deal is.

hmmm maybe I just need to try harder then. The driver side fitting head stripped on me so I am replacing that entire line. I will do it again this weekend. the passenger side is just sitting in the bracket loose so I will need to address that too.

Put those lines in last week, the only problem I had was with the rear one and had to bypass the holder and mount the line else where.

I know I am bringing this back from the dead but just a little follow up on this that I did not add before. I called summit and asked for assistance. I was told I would need to modify the bracket to put it on. So, I grinded the bracket a little so it would fit in there. Then I welded a little tab in where there was an indentation on the brake line steel piece. I grinded and shaped this so it holds the line in. It turned out great in my opinion and it all bolted back together perfect.

I havent put the rears on yet so I can't help out there just yet.

The lines I bought for the 04 cobra brakes did the same thing. I just ground out the hole a little bit so they would go in and haven't had any problems at all
