Subject: Re: SS brake hose options for 84-87? by CentralCoaster on 2015/2/21 1:52:43 I'm reading that the goodridge maybe has tighter, thinner wire which I assume means more flexible. I found em, just not on tirerack. A shame since they have good pricing on the rear pads I use. But now I see some are saying the Russell has the clear sheath over it. Hard to tell from photos. The goodridge don't. Way back when I used 1/2" shrinkwrap over my front lines to do the same.. but that won't work on these factory fit lines, the fittings are too big. Some claim the SS helps with cooling, LOL! If your brake hoses are the difference between fluid boiling then you got bigger issues. Oh yes I did boil the fluid last time out. But pretty sure that's because I was lazy and bled with really old Motul fluid which I guess degrades. I don't think hose expansion is going to alter the pressure or bias (steady-state), it's just going to cause more pedal travel. I don't have a DRM spring, I have something much stiffer. I wonder if it's rusting inside there? The pedal travel is a bit sticky, or maybe that's the calipers. ABS wasn't invented yet either. The whole brake system on my car is either precision engineering or Bubbarific, I'm not sure which. |
