I believe the -10 indicates 10 inches, but I could be misremembering...

Ok what is the correct setup for these? I'm guessing a 45 degree angle at the caliper and then make shorter hoses? These hang out in the breeze and probably cost me 1mph :-)

At least!

Mine have a 45 at the caliper. IIRC, the -10 in the part number indicates 10 inches from the centerline of the 45 degree fitting to the sealing surface of the straight fitting.
