Replacing all my brake lines with new copper

What length will I need for 2 main lines and the 4 corners?

Also what diameter of fuel line is used and what legnth will I need?

Just buy a full roll as there is no harm in having some spare hanging up in the shed and its not the most expensive thing to buy. And as for fuel lines what engine are you running? I just got a roll of heating copper pipe for £20 odd from tool station and again I had some spare

I used two 25ft rolls doing all the lines on my Astra, had about 2ft left over in the end. You you'll need roughly the same I should think.

I agree with andy, get 2 rolls of brake pipe, isn't overly expensive, the fuel line is 8mm, ive got my 2 copper lines running through the car across the floor pan, sure they were no longer than 2meters each, depending how your routing it will depend how much you will need.
