Custom brake lines
Has anyone used this type of brake line from Russel? http://www.jegs.com/i/Russell/799/632510/10002/-1 or know of any other stainless steel braided brake hose?

Re: Custom brake lines
I have used them, Earls and another brand I can't recall. I always get mine pre assembled or have my local shop make them and pressure test them. Personally, I would never do my own build of these lines for brakes. Too much at risk if they fail due to incorrect assembly.

Re: Custom brake lines
Yep, used them for places the factory rubber ones go. You do NOT want to plumb your whole system with flex line. You want to keep flex lines to the minimum you can, otherwise you will end up with a spongy pedal.
