Question:
Hello. I am trying to find an in stock brake line kit. I have one on order but is still out a couple weeks. It was suggested by email from etrailer that this kit may be a good alternative. It says it is for torsion axles. My axle is not torsion but does have tight clearance like a torsion axle. Is the only difference between this kit and a non torsion axle kit the tighter clearance fittings? In other words will this work for me?

It looks like you ordered the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Single Axle Trailers - Drum Brakes # DM5402; the only difference between this and the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Single Torsion Axle Trailers - Drum or Disc Brakes # DM5424 is a minor difference between parts.
The # DM5402 comes with a single 18-7/8" flexible hose which connects the brake line from the actuator to the brake lines that directly go to the trailer brakes.
The # DM5424 comes with two 18-7/8" flexible hoses which connect the 17" and 66" long steel lines to each trailer brake assembly.
So it's just a slightly different way of getting connecting the brake lines to the brakes and yes, the # DM5424 will work for you. I've attached install videos of both parts below if you want to check them out and it shows what the difference would be.
