993 caliper brake lines

I am trying to install stainless braided lines on my 77 911 race car with 993 calipers. The problem is, I have a thru body adjustable sway bar, and the hard line coming out of the caliper hits dead on the sway bar link when turned to near full lock. Have any of you run into this problem, and how did you handle it?

Go to Napa.
Buy M10x1.0 bubble flare lines and bend to fit. Mine were close, but I was able to massage them around.

Yeah, I have the bubble flare hard lines and actually bought them from Napa. It is just at full lock, with the tightest bend on the lines I can make without kinking they are bumping the sway bar link.

You could use a low profile banjo and hollow bolt connected to more stainless brake line...and bolt that up to your brake line at the strut.
