Can anyone tell me which of these two sets of brake lines from Pelican are the better ones. One is DOT approved, and cheaper, and the other isn't approved and a few more dollars.
Stainless Steel Brake Line Set, DOT Approved, Includes Front and Rear Lines, 914 1.7/1.8/2.0 (1972-1976), 914-6 (1972 on), Each SS914D $49.25 Stainless Steel Brake Line Set, Non-DOT Approved, Includes Front and Rear Lines, 914 1.7/1.8/2.0 (1972-1976), 914-6 (1972 on), Each $54.50 |

I removed the SS lines off of my bug and every 2nd swedged end broke off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
BTW these were "Earl's" brand of hose. To think I was trusting my (and families) life on these POS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Only DOT rubber for me from now on. Also my hose supplier will not sell you those "make your own braided lines" if they know your making brake hoses. |
