Just got back to this now. Iam bummed I missed the originals but I believe I will find them someplace. This is for 1980 FLT legs in FLH trees on a FLH frame of coarse. I dont like the junction under the bottom tree so I want to hide it in the nacelle but keep the look of stock brake lines.FLT lines are just a bit short to accomplish this.Of coarse these are 1980 calipers so no banjos or anything, this is good old automotive brake line territory here..in case anybody was wondering.Thanks all.
