i'm rebuilding my 110 and have just bought a set of plus 40mm hoses and whilst the front are close to my original plus 2" ones the rear is miles too short
when i removed the axle i cut the rear flexi so have nothing to compare it to, so if anyone has a set of either std or plus 2 hoses to hand they could measure it would be appreciated
thanks

Yes, I've had that problem buying a kit of hoses - one of them was far too short. I can't remember the lengths needed, but I just used a flexible tape measure (of the kind used for measuring clothes) and held it from the end of the pipe on the chassis rail to the T junction on the back axle and let it droop to resemble the amount of slack needed and ordered accordingly. It's been fine ever since.

i can't help but think they've sent out a std 90 set not a +2" 110 set
i'll hopefully be able to speak to someone at the suppliers today to get to the bottom of it

having seen a pic of a 90 and where the t piece is located i'm pretty certain the st i was sent is for a std 90
