Ok,I need to know what brake lines i will need due to removing the servo... I'll explain :

 

I have a 91/92 mini which came with a servo as standard - therefore the brake regulator valve is squashed right across to the left hand side of the bulkhead when looking into the engine bay.

Now im doing the micra conversion i cant run with a servo.

I have fitted the upright master cylinder, the yellow tag type with the 10 and 12mm outlets - I bought what i thought was the correct brake lines to meet up with the brake regulator but then realised they only reach a tiny bit to the left on the bulkhead and only going to work if i move the regulator over to the right to meet up with them - in my situation i cant due to the subframe etc.

 

So, is there a set of premade flexi lines that are long enough to reach the master cylinder and regulator in its current position? I have hunted for a fixed solid line but nothing of that sort has been made already - unless i create my own set with copper lines (I will if i have to but id rather not!)

Or, could i use these already in place and then create a pair of female copper extensions to bolt up to the standard parts i bought to extend them - or is it better to keep joints to a minimum?

 

Its confusing me so much on what to do. Any help would be awesome. Thank you!
