On my Tristar, a previous owner had installed the Big Brakes. In that
case it looks like they made a new custom fitting for the brake line.

I was a bit lazier when I put them on my Westy Sycnro. First we removed
the lines from the current mount, detached the mounting bracket and
reverse it (if I remember correctly), then figured out where we could
attach it to the new calipers. It did require bending of the metal
brake line (otherwise it was too long). This last is the most critical
because you need to make sure that both the metal line and the rubber
line do not contact any of the suspension parts at full travel and at
all angles of the front wheels.

It actually was easier than I make it sound.
