Default Abs unit

Hi all , had anyone redone there abs unit brake lines?

My rcm induction is rubbing on these and eventually looks like it will rub through which I don't want.

Have been told you can just bend them out of the way but if I snap one I'm nakerd.

Can anyone help me with a solution

Thanks

Add a bit of foam/rubber to stop the rubbing.

I had the same problem and i cut the inlet down, ive also manipulated the abs pipes so theres clearance.
You can also do what nossy said to add an extra cushion.

Brute force bud, dont kink them tho.
Mine are 17yrs old and moved quite happily.
I also took the deadlight out and pulled the whole unit forward it created an extra few mm.
