I need a pic of how to make the brake line fit. I have the LS! lines.

I used a cutting disc on an angle grinder to cut a groove in the bracket, and then hammered it down so the brake line attaches facing the caliper instead if facing up. This worked perfectly with stainless braided lines that were designed for LT1 brakes. If you're desperate, I can get pics.

I just did this last weekend, and did what Birdie2000 said, but I re-used the LT1 lines. I removed the bracket, then used a dremel to cut it, then hammered away until it was nearly 90 degrees. Here is another thread on this:

The 7th post has a good picture of the bent bracket.
