Re: Brake lines for front calipers

I think an issue that should be discussed is LENGTH and ROUTING of the flexible line to the front calipers. There is so much variation in geometry here that it makes it very hard for a guy to install the lines and know for sure its right. And let's face it. It has to be right.

I just had a Brand New braided steel flex line fail...... And the truck hasn't even hit the road yet. Just rolling in and out of shop. If I had taken a maiden voyage it would have been really bad, and the braided stuff is supposed to be better than rubber. So naturally now I am very interested in getting this part right. It failed right at the crimp, as if the line was stressed too much. But it was all brand name stuff from the guys we all know, as a kit.
