There is absolutely NO need to make this short (741mm) metal pipe into a flexi if you are still running the standard caliper.......

741mm? What is? I'm talking about the small pipe from the caliper to the ball joint, that can only be about 250mm long surely?
It's these pipes I mean...
Sorry about that, my mistake, I read my list of sizes wrong! It's actually 297mm (again a cutting length) 741 is the dual circuit O/S/F pipe!
All the measurements I have are taken from genuine steel originals meticulously straightened and measured to the nearest mm. I do it this way because I positively hate makers (no names. no pack drill) who generously give you a couple of inches extra on each pipe or, worse still, sell you a "one kit fits all" kit. Basically, it doesn't!
AFAIK the front flexi to caliper pipes are the only universal length Dolomite pipe, and even that's not correct if you include the drum braked Toledo!
Master cylinder to 4 way/PDWA varies from single to dual circuit in number, length and fittings.
Both pipes to front flexis vary single to dual circuit in both length and fittings.
Front half of front to back pipe varies between OHV and OHC and between single and dual circuit.
Rear half of front to back pipe varies between Sprint and all other models.
Pipes from rear flexi to O/S/R cylinder and across axle vary between FWD and RWD models.
You can call me anal retentive if you want, I just hate it when I spend hours carefully shaping a pipe in crisp bends to original spec and find I have a couple inches left over with nowhere to put it!
