Front vs. Back Braided Brake Lines
Almost hate to ask, but which length cables go where? Long up front? And while we're talking braided brake lines are there any other tips out there to avoid any installation problems... I seem to recall some discussion about the copper crush washers.

No banjo bolts on the C3 lines. There are only two crush washers used, one per a caliper. The crush washer goes into the front caliper and the line screws in.
In front, screw the line to the front caliper first, tighten, then screw the nut on frame hardline into the flex line.
In the back, the line gets attached to the frame block first then the nut on hardline on the trailing arm (that leads to the caliper) gets screwed into the flex line.
If you have the old lines, you will easily figure out which line goes where but the longer ones are in front.
