Braided Hoses - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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?

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

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

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
