I'm nearing the last hurdle to finish my refurb and get my car back on the road but need one last question answering.

Ages ago I bought and had refurbished by Bigg Red a pair of front calipers from a 5.0 Chimera so need to replace the old hoses with nice shiny braided ones from Stevsons but just wanted to check end fittings and length. Am I right in thinking that the ends are M10 fine thread ? and what length have people gone with?

I went for the one long hose from caliper to chassis , 20" + threads each end which are M10 x 1.0

Obviously a shortage of tape measures Chris?

Apparently there is a national shortage of tape measures down to the poor exchange rate since Brexit.

After asking the question Claire from Stevson didn't even ask in the end just wanted to know if I wanted 4 brake lines or 2
