Please see attached photo, I have installed some spacers on the mounting bracket, it help, but I need to get the brake lines even more out (away from the fender).
I was thinking I can use a plastic tube and use some cablestrips... ?
I have used a stell tube as a example of what I was thinking, see picture below.

In your case you have to turn the lines like this to get away from the fender.

The other option is to split a rubber hose length wise and wrap it over your hoses where they touch the fender. Sort of similar to an isolator on emergency brake cables and hydraulic brake lines. I wouldn't try to put a piece in between the hoses. That would look awful strange.

They are not orginal, but should have the correct length...
I can have some protection on... but the brake lines it self is good protected, its the paint on the fender who have problems... hehe
Can it be I need to unmoun the line and twist it around or something to get the line point out instead of in.... ? I need to look more into these , have the winter todo it now

I have checked these with the brake line supplier, and its not possible
