Re: Steel Braided brake lines My ebay account expired years ago due to inactivity. I don't use that place either. Try calling HawksMotorsports.com and bigbrakeupgrade.com Hawks carries a brand that has external liner that meet DOT environmental standards. It's good stuff. I can't remember the brand but I've got it on my car. |

Well that's stupid. They have had their e-bay store for many years and I bought brake hoses from them which were excellent. I guess you don't really want them for your car after all, so why even come here for advice?... |

Thanks. I will probably get them made local. I found out that a good local shop that makes hydraulic hoses can also make steel braided brake lines. Thanks guys. |

I'd give those DOT approved hoses SERIOUS consideration. Normal braided lines aren't meant for long term exposure to natural contaminants of water, salt, etc. That's why the OEM's don't use it. The DOT hoses that Hawks carries are steel braided but have a clear sleeve on the outside that protects it from the environment. It's expensive and it's damn good stuff. Maybe they don't have it anymore, I bought mine about 10 years ago. |
Re: Steel Braided brake lines Earls Performance makes them in various lengths, and you can get them all over the internet. |
Re: Steel Braided brake lines also any good Hose shop.. can make a copy in them. expl. House Of Hose. in Spokane WA. made copies of some rubber stock stuff. in Braded SS. with the exact fitting to bolt them on. edit to add DOT approved. |
Re: Steel Braided brake lines Guys, most braided hoses are not DOT approved. Detail worth paying attention to. |

Oh so i should continue to use it cause of the past scams are gone and over with? Just like I should jump on the band wagon and start using Vimeo or cashapp cause its what everone else is doing and there is zero buyers protection? No thank you. sounds like hun got scammed on Marketplace trying to use Vimeo. Most places have good buyers protection form legit transactions and sellers. |
Re: Steel Braided brake lines I ordered my braided brake lines from kore3.com for my front and rear c5 brake conversion. http://www.kore3.com |

Re: Steel Braided brake lines We use DOT cert'd Russell stainless flex hoses assemblies, these have a sleeve over the braid which is key to longevity with a braided hose. Classic tube offers DOT stainless and also Inline tube. knock on wood we have never had a hose problem since we have offered these, we have had banjos that do not seal or the 3an connection that seep but these problems are easily counted on one had over 15 years. The hose itself failing is going to be from being kinked or pulled at articulation or sediment or debris ended up in the braid, the dirt/sand what have you "saw" or eat at the Teflon hose as the hose works through articulation and pressure spikes until failure. The common reason stainless hoses do not DOT is the whip test, they will usually fail at the crimp, some hoses pass this test and are still not DOT'd (Earl`s Speedflex) Russell uses a thick semi flexible reinforcement to keep the hose from kink in the whip test, That insulator keeps the braid from touching the crimp sleeve which is thin/sharp and can cut the braid in that test |
Re: Steel Braided brake lines have used the Russell set 92z28 4wheel disk none 1LE. PBR rears(LIKE IT) but I think the rear lines are a bit long. having to put a loop in the rear lines.per Russell (to me just looks goofy) so I had a local shop who makes DOT brake lines copy the GM lines for the rear. just a better looking fit (to me) using GM like fittings (same as OEM) but in SS. I sold off the front lines as I upgraded to a Wilwood set up. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...765379f5e1.jpg front set up now https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...1b711b9958.jpg |
