Does anyone know off hand, or have to hand, some wide track front brake hoses? I ordered a new brake hose set which seemed too short when I came to fit it. Turns out they only sell one length for the front end. I've since fitted my old hoses and sent back the to be replacements. My car isn't with me as it's having some work carried out on it.

So does anyone have the length of the hoses from end to end so that I can tell the supplier and get a new set sent out to me.

Many thanks.

The length of just the braided hose is 310mm then pipe fittings on the end of that

I have searched previously, a look on the owners club forum seems to say the braided section on narrow track hoses is 300mm and the wide track braided section is 350mm. The 50mm either side allowing for the wide track, 100mm wider front end over all. Then adding the fittings onto these.

But you've actually measured, thanks. I've only been going on reading past threads so far.

I had a set of wide track hoses delivered from Caterham today. The end to end length including fittings is 390mm.

Does that marry up to my rough length of braided hose to be around 350mm? Thanks for the measurement.
