Put the ace back end on the FJ, but the banjo fits to the side of the master so on full compression it fouls the swing arm is there an easy way around this.

Pictures are worth a 1,000 words on this one....
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Here's what I did: I got rid of the big fat hex head banjo fitting and used one of these low profile allen banjos with copper washers
(Google: Pro Bolt):

Note: This is the mfgr's sales photo, I do not have rubber brake lines!!!
Also, get the back end up, even when under full compression, the swing arm will be below the fitting.
