2014 Put bar risers on. Front brake line tight when turned to the left. Wanted a S.S. line with mounting block. I called Rick at hose works here in Denver, said he could make one with a mounting block. So here it is I hope to mount it soon. The only thing I am not sure about is where the hard line mounts. The new block hole is larger hope the line is larger enough to seal. I thought for $38.00 dollars I would give it a try. ::015::

Seems like it only is the inner hole diameter that is bigger.
So I don't think it will be a problem.

Installed the longer line fit fine sealed no leaks. flushed the system, then cycled the ABS a couple times. Need to learn more about what happens with the fluid when the ABS pump cycles or during wheel lock up. Seems Important to cycle the ABS pump couple times a year so the fuild does not just sit stagnant in the pump. Very easy install jumper turn off start switch apply front and rear brakes turn keys on. Front cycles then rear and back to front one more time.

I recently went through a similar adventure. Have you measured flare on steel tube? On mine the flare on the tube is only slightly larger than the smallest portion of the taper cone in the mounting block, meaning it will likely work but it's not an optimal fit. It sounds as others have mounted this combination without issue and I've not seen any posts about leaks or failures.
I don't mean to cast doubt but I decided not to install on mine due to size mismatch.
