Braided brake hose
Just about to place the order for the braided brake like.Ive decided to do the lot with it!As copper looks terrible(in my opinion!)!
Would 5 meters be enough to cover the whole braking system?

How are you going to fit the unions?

my car is a little bigger, and i've ordered mine from Russ Bost, total length of mine is 7.5m, its further to the back wheels on my car, but
i've done the front using 2 lines instead of 3 (one pipe to each wheel, instead of one to a T piece and then to each wheel)
I'd buy 10m personally so you're not left short. use the rest for the clutch if its hydraulic.
or measure and ask Russ to make them for you.

IMO, run 4 lines from the master cylinders, one to each wheel. use banjos all round if possible. the money you save on unions and end fittings will
cover the extra hose length required.
i really wish id done this rather than the copper crap.

just watch some of the screw together fittings. some SVA testers don't like them apparently.

If you use the Goodridge type 6, they are screw together, they do comply with the current SVA regs
