It really depends on the type of unions & calipers you have fitted. I've got Goodrich lines tie wrapped to the lower wishbone with a 'curl' to allow for steering movement. It is best to measure what you need with some washer tubing as a guide.

My fronts are 50cm with banjo fittings to cortina calipers. I think sierras are a bit shorter than this.

Rally design seem reasonable priced and will make them up for you.

Theres a new set of lotus 7 ones on ebay at the min for 25 quid buy it now. Not sure if the ends will be the same.

take a look at thinkauto webshite. I bought braided hose and fittings for a Land Rover clutch line, now that is bling!
