    So I bought these brake lines from
    Wheelers, and I notice the stock line has that little “line” coming off of it. The new ones do not. Is that “line” for fluid or to line it up, I am not really sure.

    I don’t want to go ripping the old ones off and these don’t work.

    It just keeps the banjo fitting from rotating while you are tightening the banjo bolt.

    I think 'banjo positioning tab' is a reasonable term.

    Gets the line in the right spot and holds it there. Good to have, but not required.
