How do these SS lines look?

If you've read any of my other recent posts you would know that I blew two brake lines. The first one was an OEM line on the front passengers side wheel. The second one I blew a hole in was the rear passengers side line which was SS. I think it was rubbing against the wheel and that's how the hole wore through. Please take a look at these pictures and tell me if I've installed these all correctly. My only concern would be if the lines are bending too much or touching the wheel or any other reciprocating or moving part that might wear into it.
They should be in this order from top to bottom... Rear passengers side. Rear drivers side. Front passengers side. Pic 2 of front passengers side. Front drivers side.
Let me know any concerns you might have in the way their installed. BTW, I'm waiting on a new hardline and bracket for the front passengers side. As you can see, it's not retained in the bracket correctly.

I just installed SS lines on my car, and can easily take pictures for you if you'd like. I made sure to match up the lengths of the lines correctly, and route them properly. Let me know, I will be able to do it tonight when I get home from work.

Other than that, they look correct. A little binding is expected because they don't twist much. Do your best to tighten the fittings without binding the lines. Just double check the clearances when you put your wheels on and it should be fine.
 
I installed SS lines on my car 3 weeks ago, looks like you didnt use the stock metal piece for the rears, where it bolts to the caliper, and that could cause rubbing on the wheels, the metal piece im talking about coinnects to the new line like it did the stock line, so that the line isnt sticking straight out towards the wheel, instead thise banjo style piece points the line inwards of the car.

Would you mind going out of your way to find me a picture of the piece you're referring to? If anyone noticed, I have a 5 lug hug conversion on my car. I want to say the hubs were from a later model T/E/L
 
See the metal piece that connects to the line then the metal piece is a banjo style that a bolt goes through connecting to the caliper, so that the line has no way to rub on the inner wheel

Oh wow. I haven't seen that. Any part number to go with that or place where I could find one, if not from the dealer?
