After searching everywhere for brake hoses for my 72 C20 I still have not found a set that fits into the stock tabs on the frame. Does anyone on here make custom hoses that would work for this application? Or does anyone know of brake hoses from another vehicle that will work in this application? I have been unable to find a local shop that is able to make these hoses.

Below is a picture of the problem. The retaining clip groove does not protrude far enough into the bracket to slide the clip in.

I really don't want to modify these hoses by cutting a new groove in the fitting for safety reasons.
