Sierra brake flexi - hose advice
Hi guys, I've got some nice flexi-hoses that were meant for a sierra, and I'd like some opinions on whether they are usable or not.
The front lines seem OK at full lock and full droop (though there's not a massive amount of droop!), and also at full bounce.
The back lines seem OK at full droop, but may struggle at full bounce because they are being bent too much.
What's the opinion, do these look OK or should I fork out for a set of longer hoses?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

being bent alot isn't the issue, more rubbing or toughing anything, like the tyre etc... (hint : fit the wheel when you check)
Don't like the top one, it's so long it will slap in the wind! You also haven't fitted the steering arm or the head lamp, both look
like they could be an issue.

The steering arm (I assume you mean the rack) and the headlamp brackets are in place - they are on the other side of the hub though, so
shouldn't cause too much of a problem 
I've just tried it with a wheel over (I couldn't take pictures as I had no free hands!) and it seems to have OK clearance with
15's. Not too worried about them being too long, I can move the mounting bracket back a bit
