    I just got mine. The fit problems you had are a bit concerning. Anyone else have this issue?

    I had this issue today when i had mine installed. We had to use zip ties to keep them from moving around in the oem clips since i didnt have any washers on hand. Other than this minor issue, great quality lines and fittings

    I had a little opposite problem. I had to enlarge the holes on the front mounting brackets in order to get them to fit through. Wasn’t a big deal, just took a few min with a dremel

    Mine came yesterday and I put them on today. Had to bend the old retainer clips so they had more arc, but once I did that they went on just fine.

    I thought about that but since that metal is so thin, I didn't feel comfortable that it would hold securely long-term. I guess it worked OK for you though.

    The Crown lines my friend bought came with new retainers that were twice as thick.

    I got the tip about bending the retaining clips from post #528 of this thread.

    Got mine today. Super fast turn-around. Full set of extended lines. Fit perfectly with a new set of these. Had to use a hammer, and it was kinda a tap it while guiding the clip in while holding the hose end in the bracket. Once I got the clips started, they tapped right in. Thank you!

    Mine fit fine but somehow lost a clip while on a trail. It’s just zip tied in place now

    That was my fear and why I used the bushings but those clips on Amazon look like they'll work well.

    Are the colors you've posted before still available? I'd like yellow if it is.

    Yellow is available but it’s special order so the lead time is longer.
