you should be able to use them on the rear at least, as you can just cut the tabs off and weld them on further out if needed.

TT, as you are intending to fit a GRP rear tub, the new box tube thats needed for the GRP is an ideal place to mount the end of the hard brake line, then attach the flexi to the rear upright then a hard pipe to the backing plate of the drum / or disc caliper,
thats how i,ve done mine

cheers

Would be a shame not to use these pipes as they were £20

in theory, the front flexi pipes are not supposed to touch ANYTHING from the union of the hard pipe to the caliper, even when the steering is put on full lock either way,

so i would say no to any form of outrigger,

just my opinion of course.

cheers
