of the front brakelines for a wedge? Car is not here to measure and I need to get a set of Stainless lines made up for my Wilwood calipers on my Wedge.

Depends on the setup:
Original about 36 cm, but the original ford calipers have a bit of brake line on them.
My brake upgrate (hi-spec 300mm, 4-pot calipers): 57 cm braided hose from brake line fixed to the chassis up to the banjo connection at the caliper. But it is just long enough.

Would think that if they can provide you with a brake upgrade, the supplier would also be able to provide the correct lenght of hose.

Problem is I sourced the parts myself. I went with Wilwood Superlite IIA Calipers and Drilled and Slotted Discs. I guess I will take the Original Measurement and add a few cm's

Also, I'm in the US and nobody knows any TVR specs.

Thanks Grady! Am I also right that the car side of the brakes are a 3/8" fine thread?

As in my post go for the long length (mine are the braided hoses) to go with my 4-pot. If you need to choose, add a bit, as for me is was just ok. Don't know the thread, but is should be a standard (and probably there is only one).

I finally found my set (which came with the car un-installed). Slight mystery here but neither the Wedge or Bible are here to resolve.

I have 4 s/s lines.

3 came as a package - 2 are 16" and 1 is 10.25"long. Each end has a double nut and the threads are indeed 3/8" by 24 (fine thread). I'm guessing 2 front and a single for the rear.

The 4th is also 16" (identical to the other 16" except missing the 2nd nut on one end) and is either extra or perhaps for the clutch.

Anyway, now that I have re-discovered them, I going to add them and change the brake fluid.

Sorry again for the delay and hope this helps. Grady
