So finally getting around to installing the master cylinder I bought from 914Rubber over 4yrs ago. I got the EZ install kit with screw in adapters and 6in lengths of braided hose. Pulled the old MC out and have the steel supply lines still in place.
Should I just cut a couple inches off the existing lines and use a short length of the braided hose, or cut back further to use the entire hose length?

6 of 1 and a 1/2 dozen of another; dealers choice. Doesn't matter. That rear connection is pretty close to the bulkhead and a PITA to access the hose clamp.
