flex brake line pics

I swapped in a corp 10 bolt with the heavy duty brakes (13" disc) into my 70. Yesterday I bought some flex brake lines, went to put them on today and they are about 6" shorter than the lines on my old drum setup, plus I am not 100% sure as to how these lines should go on. I have attached a pic of the lines, at the end the have one side that is machined flat, but the tube protrudes up after the round section, and the other side of the flange has a tab that I can't seem to put anywhere

If these are completely wrong, can anyone point me toward the correct lines?

Re: flex brake line pics

Those look like lines for a 2wd front disc setup. Take them back and ask for a 4wd setup.

Yep. I don't know what 4WD lines look like, but those look exactly like the ones I replaced on my 2WD.

Re: flex brake line pics

sounds about right....this axle install has been one step forward, and two steps back!
Does anyone have a pic of the correct lines? Also, how long are the lines I am looking for, I don't think these are more than 18" long, my last set of lines were probably at least 24" long.
Do the 4wd lines still have the 4" of hard line at the caliper?
