[DeTomaso] correct length of rear brake hose?

Thanks, Bill,

On searching online to see what is available it seemed like the 18" would be the best length.
Your info confirms it.

Jim,
 
My OEM rear brake hoses are 16.5 inches long.
 
The replacement AN hoses I have from a Pantera vendor are 18.0 inches long.
 
Have fun,

I am removing the second caliper from each side of the rear of my car. 
It previously had stainless steel braided AN-4 lines in a T shape to feed the 2 calipers.
The line running from the T fitting to the forward (extra) caliper was 14" long and I was able to run it from the fender fitting to the rear (original location) caliper, but it is under a bit of tension.

However, if I use a longer piece I will have to secure it with a wire-tie or something to the suspension A arm so it doesn't lie too close to the exhaust pipe.

Does anyone know what the length of the stock brake line is?

thanks,

Jim
