What's the difference between the racing SS brake hoses and the street ones?
My car has the racing ones on right now, but I do have the street versions on standby. |

The steel braid isn't holding the hose in that position. After the braid is cut it doesn't hold anything together. That's the reason for the tape on the line cut by the grinder. It holds the braid so it doesn't unravel. The braid is like a Chinese finger puzzle. I could peal the braid back to show you the tweaked teflon but I'd poke my finger 150 times just so you could say it's irrelevant.
A complete assembly is only as strong as its weakest part. The picture shows the weakest part. The inner teflon. The fact that you don't find the picture relevant baffles me. Any material can flex infinitely as long as it's not flexed past its elastic limit. The simple truth is that teflon reaches its elastic limit before the stock line. I could cut a stock line with a diagonal cutters and show you it's still round. But again I'm afraid you'd feel it was irrelevant. How is installing the line on the car irrelevant. How does the DOT check the hose for proper length and measure bend angles that might be encountered? The labratory tests are irrelevant. I've worked with engineers for many years. They design it and I build it. I've tried to explain this simple fact to them many times. Just because it looks good on paper doesn't mean it's going to work in real life. I hate to say my patience is exhausted. I suppose yours is too. How about we agree to disagree. |
