Cheers chris. Sounds about right from what I remember. Only reason I ask is one of the MOT points was that one of them was fouling on the front tyre, hencing thinking they were too long.

you need to fit them right, always screw the hose into the caliper first then onto the body making sure its not twisted. If its twisted it arcs out rubbing on the wheels.

Also make sure the caliper bleed nipple is open when you connect up the hose!
