Captain
Use the longer ones and it’s easier to replace the wheel cylinder at the same time. The bracket that the hose goes through can be tricky. Call me if you want I just did it to my 69 vert.

My question is this:  I noticed in the clark's catalogue that they offer 2 different front brake hoses for a '69.  Does it matter which one you use?  I guess both will work, but are there any advantages/disadvantages for either?  I'm not worried about originality.  I'm looking for reliability and dependability first and foremost and therefore the best choice.  Everything else seems straight forward.  This is my first foray into the world of '69's.
