[Shotimes] Installing SS brake lines on a 95 MTX

[Dave Kegel]

Yes, if I remember correctly there's a little "nub" that needs to be
ground down for the new lines to fit in the bracket.

These sound like the Earl's lines. Yes, I believe you
need to use a round file to enlargen the bracket
holes. I did this when I installed the Earl's lines in
the rear of my 93. My front has TCE lines which
utilize the stock bracket and hardline adaptor with a
different fitting welded to it. (IOW, I didn't mess
with the front). I do believe that the spring points
forward for the front lines. Make sure you install
them exactly how they are labeled as there are 3
different hardline fittings on this car.
