Jack,
You'll have to convert from inches, or use a fractional measure.
For Phase 2 BJ8:
left front 38.5" inverted flare both ends 1 male, 1 female fitting
right front 20" same
caliper 9" bubble flare at male fitting; inverted flare at female
master cylinder out line 80.5" bubble flare both ends 2 males
servo in line 13" bubble flare both ends 2 males
servo out line 22" bubble flare at servo, inverted flare at union,
2 male fittings
front union to rear hose 87.5" inverted flare both ends 1 male 1
female fitting
Reservoir supply lines (1/4" diameter) brake 23.5" clutch 22.5"
each have inverted flares and 1 male, 1 female fitting.
It's likely that the lines in your set will be slightly longer.

Subject: Brake and clutch pipes
Friends,
my dismantled BJ8 phase 2 was supplied with a bag full of new brake and
clutch pipes, nicely coiled. My problem is now (1) to find out which one
goes where and (2) whether I've got a complete set or not.
The brake pipes on the rear axle were easy: I had pictures how they
should run, took a piece of solid electricity wire, ran it in accordance
with the photos to get the correct length and compared the length of
wire with the various pipes. Easy! But now I have larger problems
because I have not much idea how the pipes run in the car. I have a
large number of pictures, showing that there are a lot of ways to run
the pipes - but which one is the best one?
Therefore the following cry for help: Is there anyone in the Healey
world who ever made a list of brake and/or clutch pipes with their
lengths and, if possible, from where to where they run? Or clear
pictures of how the pipes should run on a BJ8 phase 2? I would be very
grateful, as ever.
Kind regards
