Default Please help with MWC install

Well, can't figure out how the stock brake lines fit on this thing. The rear is narrowed 3" per side. The stock brake lines are just sticking up everywhere and do not line up with the tabs on the rear. I need some serious help please!!!

I ordered mine narrowed 2 1/4" on each side, my plan was to go get some new brake line and bend it for the MWC.

We supply the brake line clips and chassis hose mounting bracket, and on 98-02 cars the caliper hose tab and e-brake cable bracket... all as standard equipment that the others don't even offer.

It's always a good idea to use new brake lines when doing a swap, but is not a necessity either. The stock lines will work without mods, but you will need to basically straighten them out and bend them to fit the new housing. The stock lines end up actually a bit too long when doing this, so we normally just put a sine wave shape in the line along the axle tube to take up the extra.
