This weekend I bent the pipe to match the original (I must say I
did a good job for a first timer) and low and behold the new pipe
was exactly 2" longer than the original, thus not allowing for a fit
to the flexible hose coupling. I spoke to customer
service today and they consulted with Dave. I gave them the
measurement of a straight new pipe (yes, I bought 2 just to
be safe) and it was 18 1/4". They checked the stock and indicated
that this was correct and that they have been buying these for years.
The suggestion I was given was to add a larger bend to take up the
extra 2".

Scott,
I'm currently replacing all my brake lines with a Moss kit and I've
found all of them are about 2" too long as well. Causes one to become
creative wrt where to hide the extra length.
