Default ? about running all new braided brake lines through car

i am going to replace all my brake lines with braided flexible pipes.
do i need to have a small length of hose say 300mm long at the end thats seperate to the lines running front to back? like you would with a copper system?
or as its all flexible is this not needed?
cheers

My car is entirely piped using Braided TFE Hose. You just need to be sensible with it and make sure that there is enough hose to take up any movement that may occur.

I dont have any other Hoses involved, everything is TFE.

Also, mine are inside the car, which is in some ways easiest. If you run the hoses under the car, you will need to P-Clip very closely otherwise the hose will hang down between the clips.

Hope this helps.

don't do it. Ur brakes will feel terrible. Only use braided where flexible secrions are needed - solid everywhere else.
