Replaceing the brakelines and finding it ackward measuring the old against the new pipe - was about to use the old string method when I noticed MiniSpares UK have the lengths of the sections in inches. I matched them up to a diagram of the brakelines and made up a table.
NOTE - number 5 - has different lengths depending where you look (Van/Moke is 104") and originally both Master Cylinder lengths were the same at 12" but they advise the brake is easier to fit at 13" (but wondering if using the larger Cooper S MC if you need longer again?)

M/M = male/male fittings each end - M/F = male/female
Anyway if it's useful use it - if not don't :roll:
