That explains it perfectly! I had wondered why the 2 lines lines (the new one in package) and the used one he supplied was almost the same length. I did not change the length of the lines at all. I used them exactly as Tardcore had supplied them. I will get another shot of the excess length of one of the lines, as they are installed on the car. That probably won't happen until this weekend, however, as I was so distraught that I did not want to work on it last night. I still need to get the car back up in the air, finish cleaning the oil, take off the front bumper and THEN I will take some pics.

Either way, how much will it cost for a new set of lines?
