I agree, the Goodrich hoses sold by Moss and others are too short. At full lock they are pulled pretty tight. People have complained about them for years but nothing has been done about it. And to this day, they are still sold in large quantities.
I'll also relay an experience I had with these hoses. The rear gave up rather suddenly on me as I was backing out of a friend's driveway. I managed to stop the car just before it rolled onto a busy boulevard. Had it split two miles earlier, I would have been coming down a freeway exit ramp at 75 MPH.
The hose failed near the fitting. The metal braiding had worn through the rubber. The damage was not visible until I removed the hose. This is the problem with braided hoses. The outer sheathing hides the condition of the rubber underneath. I believe in these hoses for racing applications, but not for road use where they are not inspected regularly and where they may see very long service lives. I've used all kinds of hoses and the only real benefit of the braided variety in my opinion is a very slight increase in pedal firmness. Compared to a high quality rubber hose the difference is slight, and in my opinion not worth the added cost or risk of problems.
Top be fair, I've used several sets of the Goodrich hoses in the past and this was the first failure I've experienced, but one is too many in my opinion.
