Ebay braided brake lines and fittings any good ?
Hi chaps,
I have to make my whole brake system on my Renault 4 with braided lines.
Since OEM lines are too expensive for what they are imo, i was wondering if i could safely use PTFE braided lines that can be found for example at
www.torques.co.uk (which is an ebay store) with stainless fittings, and still be sure it will break at the end of the straight ??
Cheers
Max

Why do you want to make you entire system from braided lines? That's an extreme waste of money and it won't give you as good a pedal as
using kunifier for all the fixed lines. More difficult to route neatly as well as it doesn't hold it's shape.

^ MUCH easier to route, as you can change your mind on it as much as you like and you don't have to keep changing between rigid and flexible for
suspension and stuff. imo, due to that, it works out cheaper and looks neater, as trying to get a coiled up bit of kunifer/copper straight is pretty
much impossible

I understand and it seems quite logical to me. Even if like blakep82 said, it will be more of a pain to install on the car, it will give a better
feeling at the pedal in the end.
Can you guys tell me where i can find this cunifer, and also tell me all the items and tools i need to make a whole new system, going from the master
cylinder to the calipers ?
Thanks
