Too late unfortunately. But you're right exactly about moving them a little forward.

<< The hard line has a substantial jog in it, both to clear the tire and  also so that I can clamp it with an Adel clamp to the phenolic plate that the cylinder "bolts" to.  The Adel clamp goes around the fitting on the outboard end of the hard line.  The fitting attaches to a union, and thence to the  fitting on the inboard end of the flex line.  Tighten the fittings first,  THEN the Adel clamp.

And it may be just what I do to the bottom line as well..

Thanks for the time spent responding and the great ideas. jim
