What's the latest on this one?

Uploaded a few pics of mine.

Might be hard to tell with the paint overspray from the extension bracket, but the bracket on the brakeline is bent out from the right side when it was pulled off the frame.


And the outer coating on both the upper and lower ends of that line are cracked and separating.



It doesn't look like there is any damage to the braiding or inner line, but I should probably replace it anyway...

I ordered some longer lines from Crown and I'm in good shape now.

The lines do look really short . . . could be just the viewing angle though. I guess I really didn't pay any attention to mine when I installed them and it shows since I have the front brake lines on the wrong bloody sides . . .

Just took a quick look outside and drew a red line on your pic about where mine are.

Move the hoses/lines to the outside of the sway bar!

If the plastic coating is peeling away that is fine there is no need to buy new lines becuase of the plastic. it is there just for a little extra protection.
