Default rsx-s brake lines

hey everyone, i just did rsx-s brake conversion, was a breeze fitting everything in, only problem is my driver side ebrake line is to short...approx 1/2 inch, i was wondering if anyone knows which civic ebrake line mite fit better? i left one bolt undone w/some mechanics wire to keep it tight and not rub to much on my gas tank...just done want to rub a hole in the tank or have problems somewhere down the line...

my current ideas for ebrake lines to try are the civic si or the ex w/rear disc...dunno which ones may fit yet though...

Si lines are even shorter. You need to loosen the nut on the ebrake handle that controls the tension on the cables from under the console in the car. If you loosen that nut most of the way down, the line will reach.
