Massive Pentosin Leak - FIXED -- NOT!

[Tony Hoffman]

No experience on the brake line, but plenty on the hoses. I've had them
rebuilt for four or five Audi's over the years. Spokane hose is who does my
rebuilding. I've heard all the horor stories about noise after rebuild,
never had any issues from these guys. Has anyone on the list? Don't know
specifically what they do, just that the price is reasonable and the quality
is first rate. Also, they can add swivel fittings to the ends of the hoses
to ease instalation. This helps greatly! Done it both ways. Try a 5000 rack
fitting without one, then with, and you will be sold for life!

Hope this helps,
Tony Hoffman
