Hi Les..

my front flexi pipes are M10 fitting thread ( standard sierra calipers ) , & if my wonky memory serves me right I think they are 480mm long, tho i,ll be honest, I wish they were a tad longer.

I can double check in the morning if that,ll help? ( car not at home)

cheers

You been watching the two Ronnies aswell??? the sketch ...Hoe,s ( sorry long day )

Most motor factors can supply them if you give them the type of fittings & length, ( but it will mean the motor factor might have to look at alot of hoses to find the right length for you & some don,t like this as they just know how to order a specific hose for a specific car etc....part code on a computer etc......
or Saturn supply them or you can have them "made up" by Rally design/CBS etc or a chap on LCB called Russbost (I think thats his name) sells them to order too.

ordered my rears off Russbost
stainless steel ends with "denim blue" over
ss braided ... hopefully yumyums
will order the fronts when you confirm the length
in the same color of course
when you say a bit longer would 500mm do it or a bit more than that
over to you

told you my memory was wonky LOL,

Just measured my front flexi lines, they are 420mm long from tip to tip, tho I,d suggest 440mm & maybe 450mm depending where you have welded the bracket on the chassis to hold them in place.

hope this helps

cheers

when I see your car at a show, I,ll make a point of getting on my hands & knee,s to check out your fancy REAR brake lines LOL.

Put it this way....If I was to order new lines then I,d be ordering 440mm lengths tip to tip

"Off Day"....every day is an off day at my age LOL
