Sorry, not off the top of my head.

If I was doing it I'd get them from VW, as the OEM ones will fit up correctly. 

Buy kunifer pipe rather than copper, or stainless if you're feeling reet posh.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Alternatively download the brochure from "Goodridges" website, that has all the nozzle part numbers and materials available to you if you do re-do the brake cables from scratch, longer straight routes could be done with a long thin copper pipe with the correct fittings on as the flexible stainless steel links are only really for the calipers as the wheels bound about.

For that I think it might be worth contacting "C & R Enterprises" as they are the only people that do copper piping for the rear mk4 setups as far as I am aware off.

You've mis-interpreted what I've said.

Flexible stainless pipe is indeed only to go from the car to the wheel.  Stainless hardlines (kinda like the steel OEM lines) do the stuff around the car body and are the most durable and damage resistant, hence my mate's using them on his off-road racer.

OEM routed copper pipe won't work in this installation as it'll be a rather different set up - instead of two pipes going backwards, there'll be one.  The front pipes will go a different route, too.

Kunifer is more durable than copper, which is why I recommended that instead of straight copper.
