May be of interest to owners of M3W with the loop in the rear brake line.
Noticed that mine was hitting the underside of the tray and must have been stressing the line.
Easily cured by cracking the pipe nut while holding the fitting on the wheel cylinder and rotating down a bit.

This is what I ended up with.

The 2.8m length seems just right, allowing a nice 'spare' loop behind the seat. At first when I asked for the low profile forged end they threatened to charge me a surcharge, but in the end they just made it and shipped it. I received it next day. 1st class service from HEL I reckon. It was a fiddle to fit to the bulkhead fitting under the oil tank so I was glad that I'd asked for that low profile fitting.
