Default Brake lines with 5 lug conversion

Ok So i'am doing the 5 lug swap on my 87 mustang I'am doing the SN95 parts, I'am trying to get the brakes hoses hooked up but the stock 87 hoses have an ear on the edge that will not let them mount on to the 95 brake caliper, I have the 95 lines but they dont look long enough, What should I do no ones says anything about this in thier post. Should I just gring off this little ear, what???

They also sell nice kit that has right SN95 ball joint you need to make SN95 spindle bolt on right.

You can also get the steel braided hoses from maximum motorsports. They will bolt right in.

Do I have to buy the new hose? I really dont have that much money to spend right now. I have the hoses off of the 95 but the only why I can get them to fit on the 87 is if I buy the adapter???? Is their any other way??
