I am a Doctoral student trying to predict the shape of brake hoses in cars and SUVs. I would be grateful if you would let me know the most common lengths of hoses for these vehicles. I have considered hose lengths of 11inch,13in and 16in for my study. Does this range cover the lengths that are used on the smallest to largest vehicles?
