I'm adding a disc brake setup to my 69 Camaro, that will be for race only. I plan on using a 1.0 x 10mm brake adapter and 3an brake lines with straight ends before going into the steel lines. Can anyone tell me what length hose that they have used? The racing company I deal with calls for a 24" line, up front and that just seems to long to me. I was thinking more like 15".
What is the length of a stock rubber brake hose for a disc setup. I'd like to use the factory disc brake hose brackets, if possible, so I'd like to get a length as close to factory as I can.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bruce :thumbsup:

I got a set from Jegs, Russells lines. I like them alot and the mount to the stock frame fittings.

mine came to 14". This is from factory drum hardlines (they point down along the framerail) to wilwood calipers with a 90, also pointing down.
