Those are the "braided" hoses rather than originals, and don't fit quite the
same as the originals.  You should have gotten adaptors for each hose end;
and the adaptors are supposed to be "universal fit".  There should have been
copper sealing washers included, for where the adaptor goes into straight
threads rather than a flare fitting.

Looked kind of cheesy to me too, but seemed to work OK even during a panic
stop or two.
