I have a few part numbers in the old Girling book but that won't help you.
Another option, if you aren't concerned with originality, and the additional cost, would be to convert the flex hoses over to whatever length -3 Aeroquip/AN fittings and never ever be concerned with them again...

: Thanks Glen,
:
: I have been Googling the length subject
: for a while. The only things I have
: found so far are that Spitbits says to
: use the 295mm GBH176 while Rimmer says
: to use 305mm GBH203 in the front. On
: the rear, Rimmer says to use a 295mm
: GBH203 which is equivalent to the
: GBH176.
:
: Unfortunately, these lengths are
: measured end-to-end while what I can
: measure for the installed hoses on my
: car is flat face-to-face. I have to
: guess at the length of the threaded
: ends. Regardless, face-to-face, my
: car's hoses measure about 250mm in the
: front and 240mm in the rear. If the
: hoses threads are about 55mm (total)
: length, then my hoses would be about
: 305mm front, and 295mm rear which sort
: of matches Rimmer.
:
: A U.K. vendor (James Paddock) says
: their kits include 335mm GBH166 for the
: front and 280mm GBH175 in the rear. As
: long as the longer front hose doesn't
: foul anything up front I can see using
: the 335mm hose. I am thinking the
: 280mm rear hose is too short. I will
: discuss this with them next week before
: deciding what parts to order.
