I think I had to buy a 12" hard line to get around the strut because the ghia caliper goes to the opposite side of the strut . Any auto supply should have lines in different lengths.

Bully, Mikey

that is what I figured.. I did some more research, and figured out I had the wrong line up front.. That is part I of the issue..

Part II, is having too short of a Hard line.. Luckily I have some extra hardlines laying in the basement.. Just need to get a line bender..

Thanks again.. Will keep everyone posted, on my odessy..

Ok.. got the line on..

After speaking with Topline.. What I learned was that they provide a male/female SS brake line to go directly to the caliper.. it is long enough and reaches the hardline line without a problem..
Once I had everything on, and started playing around with the line and bracket, everything worked out well..

I was going to use to brackets to ensure no rubbing with the tires, but after tightening everything, so far it looks like no problem, with my design 90's..

I think I jumped the gun.. oh well, at least I learned something, while embarassing myself
