I've gotten two sets of Russell dot lines. Like them a lot so far

Re: info needed on braided front brake hoses

awesome guys, i think i'll try the Russell's
the ones i have now, are not solidly terminated on each end... they all have to be screwed to the end fittings... too many failure points in my opinion...

I just use AN-3 steel braided hose (non dot) and fittings. Works on the race car, works on the street car. (has for over 10 years) Currently using ebay no brand. (cheap)
