Hi Folks

Due to having cut and discarded my old brake lines, does anyone know the length of the 2 brake lines that run under the car? I intend to make them up off the roll and bend to shape as I install, but obviously due to the twisty, winding route the pipes take it makes it bamn near impossible to measure.

Many thanks in advance

Sorry car is a 1988 Sprint with rear drum brakes

I think you should remove the lines from the car then it'll be easy to work your way along them with a tape measure or a roll of string then measure that.

Alas I chopped them off when the floor was getting welded up . . . . . oops!!!

Easy to be wise after the event though.

Doh!! Didn't read closely enough, shows my attention span

You could still use a tape or string against the car running it point to point where you want the lines to run.

i'd agree with the string method.
just run it along the car where you want the pipe to run and make the new pipes to suit

i'll be doing the same with mine, and using the same method
