Default Goodridge Brake Line Length

Greetings,

It's becoming a long weekend for me. I'm putting on a set of Goodridge brake lines and the info mentions that they are 3/4" longer than the stock lines. My question is, where to the longest lines go, front or back? I know if I compare and guess and measure, I'll still get it wrong, it's been that kind of weekend.

Thanks

Don't panic Mean Green. Your kit may be different than mine. I double checked and there are two that are longer. Still don't know if they are the front or back yet. If you have your stock lines laying around, are the fronts longer than the rear?

Now I'm worried about mine. I got them from DRM, they are Earl's isntead of Goodridge (all DRM had in stock, and no one had the Goodridge's). I was planning to put them on this weekend but ran out of time, so it'll be next weekend.

Two are 14.5" and two are 20.5". What lengths are yours?

Mark, I installed mine at the same time you did and I confirm that they are all the same length - the Goodridge lines that is. I checked that first when I received them. :yesnod:

I guess they changed the packaging. At any length (pun intended) my rear stock lines are longer.
