braided hoses

[Nipples]

sorry if this is a repost...

are there any differences between braided hoses? which ones would you recommend? zinc plated or stainless?

also where would you recommend i get some from? prices have varied. am after a complete set of 4.

thanks

mocal/moquip, not goodridge ones unless theyve improved, speak to fred@btm

we've yet to have any issues with any brand we sell.

Always stainless imo.

Do these even make any actual difference with braking compared to standards?

ok how mad is this, i have had 3 different cars, 3 different mot's, and 3 different sets of stainless steel braided hose kits for the brakes have all let go on the brake test on the mot! wierd eh?! 1st on my valver, then my sapphire cossie, and finally on my williams, i swore never to have them again!

i know find myself thinking about getting some for the cup as i keep reading on here, there a good upgrade along with brembo hc's and ds2500's, am i being f**king stupid or what?

and more to the point why did 3 sets fail on me? thank God it was on the mot test or it could have been quite serious with 420bhp under my foot lol

slightly concerning... lol.

ive always thought them to be a good upgrade, just didnt no if some were better than others.

from memory, think mine where goodridge ( it was a long time ago ) i wasn't aware anybody else made them actually

I've been looking for brake lines for my R26 this evening.

www.brakes4u.co.uk seems to be cheapest place. I'm going to get HEL lines as they have stainless fixings as standard and colour choice isn't extra.

Did you fit all three sets yourself?

I never had an issue with Godridge hoses on my 172.

Bill when you say "fail" what exactly happened?

 

[Fred@BTM]

goodridge - paying for the name
hel - by name, same by nature
loads of other cheap s**t flying about


mocal - perfect (yes i sell them and yes they're spot on - so shoot me)

 

[TimR26]

Fred, how much are Mocal for Megane R26?

 

[jack_kemp]

I've been wondering this too.... I've heard a lot of stories of goodridge ones failing. Not something I want to invest in.

I may have to have a looky at mocal.... If fred's sales pitch is to be trusted

 

[Fred@BTM]

£65inc vat

 

[Fred@BTM]

i just don't sell over priced shite that causes problems - FULL STOP NO PROBLEMS

no mate, had the 1st set on the valver fitted along with some discs/pads, from memory the other 2 sets came on the cars

dropped car off for mot, gets a phone call along the lines of " f**king hell, your shitty brake hoses have just failed on the brake test, good job you were'nt on the road! " same for all 3, mot tester could not believe it, very odd, 3 cars, 3 mots, 3 could have been accidents, pissed fluid out all over and brake pedal just fell to the floor, ie. no f**king brakes

Anyone?

 

[theduck]

Your MOT tester must have a goodmarket in second hand braided brake lines

I bought a set of goodridge for my ph1. backs went on fine but for some reason I could not get the fronts to fit. The end attachment just would not go onto the thread, must be out by like half a mill or something. Really annoying

 

[Nipples]

think ill be going for the mocal ones from fred then. thanks
