Without getting the car out of the garage wheels off and all that (too cold) Can anyone tell me if the front brake pipes are the same length as the back? as I have a pattern for the front at hand and I need to replace the back with braded hoses (disc upgrade).
Or how long are the back and are they the same fittings,

Thanks in advance.

Backs have a banjo connection and are longer too.
Complete Goodridge kit about £50. Peninsula have them.

I use the firm too. But as most people on here would throw a wobbler if i listed everything you needed from Listers in component form, i chose the easy option.
If i venture into the garage tomorrow, i will try to remember to measure some.

OK. Measurement from banjo centre to end of bulkhead fitting 20". Just make sure the banjos you get are the same width or you will need longer banjo bolts.

Ok
so if i give them the one off the front and ask for the same but 20" long will this be right.

erm I thought you used Listers to buy the components to make up your own hoses.

Didn't realise they put everything together for you.
It isn't difficult but if you have never done it then best to get someone else to do them.

Don't give them a front hose as you need one end with a banjo on and the other a bulkhead fitting.
The bulkhead thread is metric and the hose -3. They should know.
Just say you want a pair making up so that the end of the bulkhead fitting is 20" from the centre line of the banjo bolt hole.
