[FC] brake hose sizes..

[Bryan Blackwell]

JR already noted possible issues with length, I believe the diameter  
may be an issue as well.  There is a certain amount of fluid  
displacement when the brakes apply, I'd be concerned about making the  
diameter smaller.

Bottom line - I'd take them back and order some from a vendor.
