Stainless Brake Hoses, Pics inside

[Todd Z]

Got my Front Stainless Steel brake hoses today, I will install next week some time.



Only thing is 1 end is a AN fitting. I know they use them a bunch, But I feel they could have made them without the AN fitting....



But they look good and hopefully I can get sets made if they meet my standards.....



EDIT: Yes they are DOT approved and carry the DOT number on them.

"But they look good and hopefully I can get sets made if they meet my standards"



Do you mean that in you are going to have some made for your trucks? Or that Zabteck is going to stock/sell?

 

[Todd Z]

Def. keep us posted! Id buy a set if ya sold them.

 

[Gavin Allan]

Maybe we can get Caymen to buy a set too. His brake lines look pretty rusty...

 

[Tom Schindler]

Gavin,



Those lines are steel. If rubber rusts, we have a major problem.



Todd, you plan on making rear ones too?





Tom

 

[Todd Z]

Tom,



I hope to, The rears were a little more expensive then the fronts, So I am starting there......



But I hope to get them for disk and drum setups....



The company also does stainless steel lines as well....

Todd,



If this is any incentive, I would be willing to buy three sets.

Tom

Maybe so, but according to Neil Young, rust never sleeps.

For the rear wouldnt the discs and drums be the same since the only rubber flexible part is where the line drops from the frame to the top of the diff?

 

[Todd Z]

Ian In the Rear disk there are rubber from the rear to the caliper as where on the drum it is all metal on the rear..

I feel they could have made them without the AN fitting....

if you custom order enough, would they make them without the an fitting?

 

[Todd Z]

Can,

I would have to ask, but the more people I talk to they love AN fittings....

It allows you to set the hose exactly where you want it....



I NEVER used any AN fittings on my stuff..... Allways NPT or flair...



I will see what happens with my install...

[Travis Munday]

AN or go home....

 

[Gavin Allan]

Hopefully you meant "double flare" and not just plain flair for brake lines.
