Scooby Jim Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Do these have good reviews, or do I just get some Goodridge??I have a 1972 SWB, but the brake lines have been changed, so will have to see if they used Imperial or metric.Also do they go straight from the standard hard lines into the cylinders, or to the small length of hard pipe from the cylinder to the flexy??

CwazyWabbit Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 JeffR had some BritPart braided hoses he bought for his Disco ...... they forgot to make the hole down the centre of the pipe .... I suppose it means your seals won't leak ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=jon= Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I had britpart braided hoses on my series, they were fine.. Even had a hole down the middle They went to the small length of hard pipe, not direct to the cylinder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomark10 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I got a complete braided line for both fronts down the radius and a longer than usual one for the rear so it went down the a frame, rather than risk them getting pulled or caught £101 to my door, even chose what colour and what joints, also put a join in the front ones so it's easier and cheaper to replace if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 £101 !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Cheap, given the length and extra fittings, but now there is hardly any copper in the system I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I must admit to not reading it properly and not picking up that it was a full length braided fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their brake components have always had a questionable quality reputation, but this quality control has to be the finest example of why to go for respectable brands. What are their QC inspectors actually looking for if their hoses are solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
