How long is your pipe?

It seems to me that the length of flexible pipe needed to go from the chassis to the callipers on the front are very long.


How long are needed?
And what route did everyone take?

Thanks

Not a daft question I have noticed the same. Standard 11" Inch flexi Hoses are too short





Scot's do it better in Kilts.

The flexy hoses supplied in the MK brake pipe kit are 47cm (18.5 inches), tip to tip.

My Dad suggested running a flexi from the chassis to the wishbone. Then a legth of copper pipe along the wishbone and a flexi again to the caliper.

Do you think SVA would have a problem with this?

Anyone with a clear front upright picture with the brake line in show? Thanks.
