Braided Hoses
I was wondering if anyone has used "braided hoses" for brake, fuel, and radiator hoses. If so any picks and what were the sizes you used?

Re: Braided Hoses
I think for rad hoses the 'flex' lines are just covers, the corrugated hoses are the flexible ones.
I've got -6 fuel line and -6 power steering line. Both vastly different from each other so don't try to mix and match components |

Re: Braided Hoses
I made some for my A/C lines.
 As well as my trans cooler lines.  These lines are the feed and return lines going to the cooler.  You can see how I made them HERE and HERE

Re: Braided Hoses
They do look better with the braided sleave rather than plain rubber hose it's a nice dress up....and that is an impresive piece of kit there re the clamping,pinching do-da
