Clutch and brake cable lenghts

[Kevin1963]

Hi wondering if anyone knows whether the lengths of cable for the brake and clutch are on a 54 golden flash?
Have bought pattern ones and both appear to be too long?

They are both listed as 54 to 57 but the part number changed!
From 55 onwards

Was going to make my own as it appears the best way to go but was wondering what the correct lengths should be..

Below from an old Romac catalogue which may give you some information. The length is in the third from last column. It does not say if this is inner or cover length but I suspect it is the inner. Lengths are nominal and will be for original pattern handlebars and handlebar levers.

According to a  list that I have the brake cable 67-8610 the housing length is  36 3/8 inches and the cable length is 42 5/8 inches. The clutch part number 67-8681 housing length is 48 1/2 inches and the cable legth is 52 3/4 inches. hope this helps you.

Thank you will give me some idea.
