Offhand, I'd suspect the fitting sizes are different, to prevent assembly line confusion. I had the rack replaced on Slorider, but it was done at a Goodyear store.
Back in 2000 when the Wilwood brakes first went on Lowrider, I discovered (the hard way) that the line fittings are different on left vs. right sides of the car. If I had been aware that they were, it would have been a snap...as it was, I tried to convert the left side fittings to right side types, thinking the difference was the Wilwood parts.
Duhhhh!! ;-)
