front brake lines

[GMBCHEF at aol.com]

 I did a G60 upgrade on my urq. It was suggested that I put a Tilton manual
brake bias valve on. In the kit comes a short brake line and a coupler. Where
the line from the wheel is installed, I'm getting major leakage under
braking. I'm thinking I should be able to get a longer brake line from the
wheel directly to the master cylinder. Has anyone performed this mod before?
How long was the line? I looked at the family album and came up with a length
of 1150 mm. Is that about right?
 One thing I learned from this: ATE super blue is some pretty good paint
stripper!
 TIA
