'''Simon Baxter''' on brake pipe over trailing arm. I always cut rears to 525mm for 2WD and syncro. Ignore ETKA also, some are correct, some aren't, your better just copying the originals.
I usually just cut them (don't bother undoing, it takes too long) then use the old pipe as a guide for length, flare them then use a brake pipe bending tool and the old pipe to get the shape of the pipe before I fit it, they practically fall on then and look neat too.
