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 |

QUOTE That said, perhaps the DOT lines are all pressure tested. Actually the requirement for DOT approval is in the hose ends.. A really distilled version of the spec is that it requires non removable hose ends..hence the crimped or swaged on ends... If the SS brake line has in fact met the DOT (SAE) spec... I wouldnt hesitate to use it.. |
