Default front brake hoses.

Has anyone on here had to replace the hoses that can recommend replacements that are the correct length?. mot mentioned front hoses deteriorated, as far as i can see it is the rubber boots that have split. i bought the first pair for my vehicle 1" to short ( too much of a strain on the hose, not right) bought another pair from Autodoc, same length as the first pair. They are standard brakes on the car that these hoses are supposed to fit, but they are to short. Many thank. Anthony.

I replaced mine with braided HEL pipes. A bit more money, but good kit.

I bought these. They fitted perfectly front and back and look good. Not cheap but have helped firm up the brake feel a little.
