68 GT convertible project

I can't see how it's possible. The lines pass through a small hole in the torsion bar x-member. You'd need a very long slot along the connector to be able to get the end of the line started in the hole and then pushed through. Then that defeats the purpose of completely welding it to the floor. What am I not seeing?

I guess it doesn't matter at this point. These connectors cost me less than $30.
