Im wrapping up this derale cooler and I’m trying to route the cooler lines along the frame. The kit uses these:

To mount the lines to the frame’s existing bracket for the brake/fuel lines.
Anyone who has this kit can you please show me pictures of how you did it? Do they want you to take the fuel/brake line bracket off to do this? I dont see how you can force the foam pad on the other side of the solid bracket thats mounted to the frame including the plastic rod that has to go along with it. (Diagram 9) Ive tried for the past hour trying to figure this out. Im proboably over looking it and its something probably obvious but I cant figure it out! Thanks 👍

Jerry has a total write up on it
 
I didn't follow the line routing directions on mine.
However, IIRC, they aren't connected to the line bracket itself.
You can put it anywhere you want behind the lines. It might have more support the closer it is.
If you cant get it behind the lines, just pop the lines out of the bracket.
 
I wouldn't take off the factory bracket or mess with it. Route those lines somewhere else. Those plastic deals from the factory aren't easy to find and you don't want to mess with them. I'd wing it somewhere else, maybe get something like this.

I ended up just zip tying them to the brake/fuel lines
