Default Brake line length

Looking to see if anyone knows the front to rear length of the long brake line from proportioning valve to driver rear caliper?

thanks!

On my '71 coupe it's 93-1/2 inches. That's only the hard line from the P valve (including the "U" at the top) to the distribution block where the LR flex hose and the hard line to the RR mount. With no knowledge of your year or model, I' don't know if that figure will help you...

Yes, 93.5" is what I measured on my '71 rolling chassis
