While there are after market hoses currently available from several sources, the mounting brackets are "longer" than the oem pieces.

All of the various suppliers utilize the same part numbers; 38369 for the LH and 38370 for the RH. The finish on the brackets varies by supplier. NAPA uses a clear zinc finish, while Raybestos and Dorman use a zinc dichromate finish (similar to oem).

The issue with the "longer" bracket is that the brake lines must be rebent in order to properly connect to the brake hoses.

Note that the brake line routing clip will not attach properly.

Nice work!  I love when someone else too pays attention to details.  Good job!
