Red / Blue anodised brake lines

#1 PostAuthor: Fred the Zed » Mon May 30, 2016 3:19 pm

Hi

Anyone know where I can braided brake lines with red / blue anodised fittings?

I cant seem to find them on the Earls or Goodridge sites

Anodised = alloy .... not suitable for road use :!:

Not safe as the metalic reation between the different metals causes corrosion (expansion) which can cause them to fail :??

Fred, Stainless is the way to go, You can buy them from Alex at Torques, he also stocks the red & blue anodised stuff. :shock:

Genuine Goodridge can be bought here....

I trawl ebay and buy used brake lines then remove & re-use the stainless fittings. Olives can be bought from Merlin for around £1 a piece.

Earls do stainless lines and the red and blue anodised ends.
