I haven't measured them. I know they sell them pre-bent for like $200 with shipping, but I'm kind of on a budget, and it also seems like something I can do in my spare time.

I tried making mine too. Wasted too many just rying to make the bends and I still wasn't confident that I didn't have a pinch somewhere.
Unless you've done it before on someone elses car, don't mess with your brakes. Go to In-Line Tube. I ended up doing this and it was well worth it!

Many of the pre-bent tubing kits come with the wire wrap around the tubing to protect it from stone hits, etc. I don't know where you could find that protective wrapping. You probably should replace the brass junction blocks as well.
