Re: STAINLESS BRAKE HOSE FOR T1 356A
Larry, a word of caution on those stainless brake hoses. They look nice and are good for race purposes where they get replaced on a regular basis, but aren't particularly recommended for street vehicles. Regular reinforced rubber brake hoses fail gradually and the failure is noticeable visually because they leak. With age the stainless steel lines can break and the failure is quite sudden.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....
