The time is just about upon me to start fitting all the hard brake lines I need for my track car conversion.

I have removed the original master cylinder & servo on the left hand side and will be fitting a floor mounted pedal box with dual m/c on the right hand side. The rear brake lines I have already replaced, but instead of running the front-rear line along the sill, I will be running it inside the car along the transmission tunnel and into the driver's footwell from behind the centre console.

As for the fronts, I want to use the original clips etc as much as possible! But my main question is this - do the left and right hand sides of the front circuit, after they have split, have to be approximately the same length?

Any other tips/suggestions are more than welcome! Thanks! :D

No they don't have to be the same length, but it would be best if they are.
