Strange...I have no such problems on my '73 B. They should install just like
the original rubber lines.
Is it possible your pipes are flexing for some reason? Missing a bracket
somewhere.
Sorry I can't help more. I'm pleased with mine -- made by Goodrich.

Subject: Stainless steel brake lines??
>new SS lines installed on front calipers..
>I've just noticed the plastic collar at the swages (thread to flexpipe
joints) has been bent over enough to break. The swages can also be rotated
by hand whereas they were not rotateable during initial installation. Are
these lines to short and being pulled over too hard on cornering?
>Were they suppose to be threaded directly into the brake caliper or
connected via a 90 degree angle banjo bolt to lessen bend radiuses? (My
original lines had no banjo bolts but I've seen illustrations using them in
this application)
