This has been asked before, so before I cut up some expensive hose what length are people using for the front hoses.

Cheers.

Hi
It all depends where you are attaching it on the chassiss I got the location on mine according to the book.With steering on full lock it was 460mm.

I thought the same thing until I fitted mine,

Mine are fitted as per book suggestion for the mounting bracket on the U1 & U2 & are routed thru the GRP side panel & thankfully they don,t go near the wishbone at all even when on full lock .

Mine are 450mm, but if I was to fit them again I would use 460mm length .

cheers

What are the lengths of the ones supplied in the Saturn brake kit out of curiosity?
