Front brake hose too long?

Had these hoses for about 7 years, but I'm thinking they are too long. Noticing some rub marks near the strut rod nut. Picture is the left front turned to the right. Right front has similar rub marks. Using '76 A body ('79 Diplomat, St Regis) sliders. All carry same part number with 2.75" piston. Should I be replacing hoses with a stock '76 A body? Got a set of stainless hoses here, but banjo bolt in the kit is too small and won't fit my existing calipers.

Maybe you could turn the banjo bolt connection 90* & bring it around the other side & tie it onto the frame

Good idea. Thanks. Found out my other set was mismatched with 10mm banjo bolt. Just got to mail it back. Cass is great to work with. Got to replace the line because it rubbed through the outer shield material, both sides unfortunately. So I don't want to take a chance on them. I'll look at that option of yours when the new lines come.

If you are replacing them get shorter ones for sure
