loads of folk will tell you braided pipes don't give the same feel as solid lines, but its all nonsense
use proper goodridge stuff and it;s all good, otherwise rally cars and race cars wouldn't do it
welcome btw
Hi guys.
This is my first post as i just joined this afternoon.
My question is this...
rather than have a combo of copper pipes and flexi pipes is there any reason (SVA or otherwise) i can't have braided flexi lines from the master
cylinder to calipers???
perfectly alright, and thats how i'm doing it

Thanks for the welcome :-)
iv been told if you tell goodridge what lenth you want and what end they will make you lines to order, is this true?
Why would you want to, think of the cost!

Not just the cost, the practicality.
Male ends that wind into the calipers would need winding all the way back to the master cylinder, then you need to support correctly, no easy nut and
bolt type fixing to brackets on the chassis.
Sounds horrible, hard and expensive to me, why go against what every car manufacturer does? Running solid lines and flareing the ends is easy and
neat.
I doubt i will ever buy copper lines again. just a pain in the arse in my opinion.
Most calipers and master cylinders have a machined face around the inlet/outlet so banjo fittings are the answer. they can be tightened up with normal
Hex socket aswell.
You don't have to "wind" fittings in as I can supply a swivel end to save the hassle, I have supplied several cars in various formats
with complete stainless (note Goodridge ends are NOT stainless)kits to their exact requirements take a look at www.furorecars.co.uk or u2u me!
remember you CAN remove the caliper to turn that on to the pipe if you don't have swivel fittings lol
