Default HEL Brake Lines From Compensator to Rear

Hi,
I have been in touch with Ben at HEL and he has asked me details of the lines like length and fittings required.
Does anyone have this information available without me having to go get a bit of string and take pictures of each fitting?
I know some people have replaced the copper lines with stainless lines from front to back so was hoping they would have this info saved somewhere

Thanks

P.s. I meant proportioning valve not compensator

They are standard fittings if that helps.. I used to have some spares but easy to measure at the abs unit end
how do you clip them on? They won't fit standard clips

edit pics here suggest they go under the existing mounts

Thanks all,
String and tape measure it is then
Got an adjustable twin bore brake bias to replace the OEM unit with as well.

Anyone swapped out OEM with an adjustable one?

I've just replaced both my rear lines with cuni hard lines, I can measure the old ones at some point if you're not in a rush. All you need at either end is a standard M10 x 1.0 nut and flare - obviously opposite fitting to what HEL have on their braided brake lines from caliper to end of the hard line.

Assuming the braided lines are the same diameter as the caliper side ones they won't fit into the OEM line clips?
