The kit I ordered from inline tube was an exact fit -- except for the line from the proportioning valve to the load control valve. That one was so screwy, that I would have been better off making my own line.
For the 200 I spent on a full line kit(not counting the modifications), I could have bought a roll of 3/16" stainless, a roll of 1/4" stainless, all the fittings, and a nice bender tool. I would have spent the same amount, had less total frustration, and still had enough supplies and tools left over for another vehicle.
Don't waste money on a sub-par flaring tool for stainless. Find somebody local who has a really good flaring tool, and pay them 5-10 bucks per flair(or their usual hourly wage, if you're doing a batch at a time). From the prices I was seeing, a flaring tool that I'd trust on stainless is in the $200-$300 range.
