Brake line lenght question
So I ran my new brake lines but had a question. If I got a new prop valve and run from my master cylinder to the prop valve, then run the lines from the prop valve to each of the front brakes, do these lines need to be the same length still??? I don't know if I got much room to do that with on my drivers side now.
Thanks

I have never read here where length was important.

'Twisting' allows for vibration/stress compensation that otherwise would break a straight run of tubing.
Number of twists do not matter, usually a couple, and are generally based on amount of tubing length you have available, as it normally comes already flared with fittings, but straight, if you buy at auto store.
