Replaced most of the rear brake lines with SS last year. Car spends most of its time in a garage, and never goes to the ocean. Should I have coated the ends, that's a good bit of money to be that rusty.

URO states that these brake lines are not from them. They also claimed that Mikey914 is "a competitor of ours on some 914 products and is just trying to throw us under the bus, ...." I see that 914 vendors are as skeptical of each other as many of us are of them. These brake lines are a perfect example of WHY we have to be so careful in finding replacement parts.

Why doesn.t the OP just tell us where he got them. I don.t agree with the above statement. |

We do offer period-correct reproduction 911 brake lines that are zinc plated for those doing high-end restorations, and need them to look exactly like the originals. It's a shame when companies misrepresent their competitors products instead of simply promoting their own products. Here's a photo of our 911 brake lines detailing the color and finish: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i67.tinypic.com-19288-1460418601.1.jpg) |
