Re-routing brake lines

[wwwdotgov]

Question: Would re-routing firewall brake lines under the hood cause any issues?
For example, if the front right brake line was re-routed and was ran near the top of the firewall, thus making the length of the brake line maybe a foot longer.

Does the "length" of a brake line effect braking and proportioning?

With such a slight change, it shouldn't. Fluid doesn't compress, so the length won't matter until fluid weight and friction differential becomes an issue. You'd need to drastically extend 1 line for that (say, you extended all the way to my firewall and back to your car. )

Ok. Thanks. That's good to hear.
