Any comments?
Every front mount application i've seen uses Aeroquip braided steel lines. Is rubber a bad idea? Thanks |

The only soft hose I would use is the "Parker" type kevlar lined hose that the off road guys use. The hose noted above is too close to the upper temperature limit for me to feel comfortable with it. I am like Chris, my race car uses braided lines with AN fittings. I have seen several vintage cars (not only Porsches) be rejected at tech with soft hoses. If you decide to buy the braided hose, a good method to use for the lengths is to buy a length of cheap garden hose and the fittings youll need and use the hose to hook it up for a prefit. Then have the Earl's guy do the cutting and fitting install as so far I have not seen any of their fittings leak. Good luck
