Stainless steel brake lines upgrade: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

One thing to make sure and look for is that the line has a plastic covering over the steel braid. Without this, you run the risk of lines cutting through fenders, radiators, or even tires. Most suppliers have this taken care of; in fact, you'll probably be trying to decide what color your covering will be. Just make sure that the line comes with one before you order.

~~Price~~ is ~~usually pretty cheap, somewhere in~~ the ~~US$50-60 range up front~~, ~~slightly less for~~ the ~~rear~~. Plus, you'll have the pleasure of knowing your braking ~~systems~~ (and hence, your safety) are up to snuff. Even better? You can easily do the upgrade yourself with simple hand tools.

The price of stainless lines is roughly the same (sometimes cheaper) as rubber lines and fittings (on the OEM diagram, you have to buy the banjo bolts and washers separately). Plus, you'll have the pleasure of knowing your braking system (and hence, your safety) are up to snuff. Even better? You can easily do the upgrade yourself with simple hand tools.

Why not? Be the first on your block!
