[V8] Front Brake Lines

All G60 lines are created equal. G60's from a
5k/100/200 10v are longer than a dealer recalled 200
20v & V8 that HAD UFO's.
 What you have are the later G60's...from an //scar.
There's a small hard line attached to the caliper,
that goes to a bracket (on the caliper), & then the
rubber line.
 I've never bought the correct rubber lines for over
$20'ish.
