Classic Tube Brake Lines

I bought a braided stainless steel brake line kit for my truck and the fronts don't appear to want to work. Can someone tell me if you have bought from them and if I have the right stuff? It also did not come with a banjo bolt so now I have to figure that out as well. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think if I were to have a different fitting that goes to the caliper it would work. A 45 degree one instead of a straight one like I have.

How did you take care of it? The straight one would work if the line was a little longer.

Re: Classic Tube Brake Lines

The part that sucks is that I installed the rear line so I can't return the set. It was like 120 plus shipping when I got them. Live and you learn. Maybee I can use them on something else if they don't work. Hopefully, someone can help.
