My brake pedal is real soft (914-6) . So I plan to
1) flush and bleed the system 2) replace the flexible brake lines with braided stainless steel lines (please recommend a source for the lines) 3) replace the master cylinder. Some people say don't use the braided steel lines on a street car, some say it is fine. What does everyone think???? Thanks. |

Stainless braided lines are OK if you promise all of us that you will regularly check them for damage including the parts that get near one of the lines and start to saw through it. It can take less than 100 miles to saw through an aluminum swaybar end link. ala. 928 rear bar. Personal experience (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
