    So the kit from LCE won't work with my application. I do not have the stock spindles. I have Solo motorsports 3" spindles and they don't have a mounting area for the brackets. Right now I have extends SS lines that are zip-tied to the spindles. I did see these lines for a 2000-2006 Tundra from Summit Racing. Still waiting to hear back from them on the banjo bolt size or if they will sell me just the bolts.

    Those brackets are part of the kit that you get from LCE (or me, shameless plug - see the rant at the bottom). The use the stock bolt on the spindle to secure the connection between the hard and soft lines (as on a Tundra). For this setup, you can remove any part of the setup independently, since the hard line screws into the caliper (and you can undo it there) and soft line (and you can undo it there).

    To remove caliper you unbolt the bracket allowing it to have flex.

    I’m not sure if anyone knows this or not but I included it in my tundra brake upgrade thread.
    You don’t not need to drill the banjo bolt...remove the feral from the caliper

    Find a screw with a large pitch and that fits tight into the feral. Screw it into the feral. Pull it out with pliers.

    it’s just pressed in so you can remove it.

    Hmmm, interesting.
    -Does the stock banjo fit with no modifications?
    -With pulling out the feral, how is it holding up since you did the swap? Any issues?

    I purchased power stops towing z package with rotors calipers and pads. It came with 13WL calipers. I removed the feral using the method I mentioned above. Used wheelers off-road steel braided brake lines with the factory banjo out of my old calipers. Fit perfectly no leaks and the truck stops hard as shit
