Flex Brake lines

[Frank Stadmeyer]

Folks,

While I'm out of commission due to my slipping clutch (it is
driveable but I have plenty of spares), I think I should get to work
on replacing my flex brake lines. At least one is in dire need of
replacement so I'm going to replace them all.  At the risk of
starting another "thread from hell",  what have the experiences been
with the braided lines.

The brakes on my '91 200q have never felt as firm as the ones as
those on our '89 100q that my son drives, even when everything is
freshly rebuilt (calipers and pads/rotors as required).  Perhaps the
rubber lines are the culprits and simply replacing them will fix the
problem, maybe the UFO's just have inherently more travel and just
I'm wasting my time (and $'s) with SS lines.

I know there are concerns about using braided lines on the street,
but I thought there were some kinds with liners which alleviated
those concerns. I see on Blaufergnugen's web site that they are not
selling any braided lines.

So lets have at it, things have been too quiet anyway.
