fitting a steering damper

Hi guys, finally got around to fitting mine tonight, got a problem though!
With having heli bars fitted, the bracket that holds the t junction on the brake hoses was removed to allow for the extra reach for the brake hoses, the t section is now fouling on the damper, I've tried it behind the ram and then it pinches the T section when on full lock and in front it's not a smooth movement as such. It kinda follows over the profile of the damper if that makes any sense! Is my only option to fit braided hoses?
Cheers
Oh and I've fitted it with locktite so it probably won't come apart to easy now

Any suggestions

Thanks alad, yeah I thought braided was probably the way forward here. A good excuse for braided lines anyway. Luckily it's nearly my birthday lol. I fitted HELS on my hornet a while back and they seem pretty good so probably go for a set of them.

OH

and spend the extra cash and go for two separate lines - rather than a direct replacement for what you have....

you may want to acquire a spare lower cover plate as Mr Dremel may well need to have a play to help route the two hoses....
