Correct brake lines for AP Racing front kit?

I just got done redoing the rubber coating on my Goodridge braided lines and realized that the lines that came with my AP Racing kit have a -03 AN fitting (I think) on one end and a banjo-style fitting on the other.

My "standard" FD Goodridge line set has the "D" shaped flanges for mating with the stock brake lines and brackets just like the stock lines. Did anyone get lines with their AP Racing kit that had the FD "D" flange on one end? I suppose the AN fitting matches the stock brake lines, but it sure won't lock into the bracket like the standard ones do.

Standard on the bottom, AP Racing brake kit lines on top.

I haven't had a chance to check, but it's possible that the banjo fittings are all identical. If so, I can just use the standard Goodridge lines.

I have the JIC shocks without the tab for the brake lines (as you can see, I removed the center fittings by cutting them off the lines), so if they're not mounted to the frame bracket either, that would suck.

I don't know if this helps or not but here is what mine looks like for the APs. Looks like they have an adaptor fitting screwed into the fitting yours have.

Thanks, I didn't get any adapters with my kit. Just the lines as shown.

I'll measure the banjo fittings when I unmask the brake lines and see if the standard lines with the D-fittings will work.

I measured the banjo fittings and they're both an identical ~10.15 mm ID, so either line would work. The "D" fiting Goodridge lines are about 1.5" shorter than the ones that came with the AP Racing kit, but that shouldn't be an issue.
