Steel Braided Brake Lines

[Vittorio Bares]

 It's the rally car...lots of sand/grit involved. Most everyone uses SS
lines in the woods. Never heard of the trapped grit issue. Doesn't mean
it doesn't exist - just never heard of it. 

Thanks,

Vittorio

My recommendation? Unless it is a dedicated track car and you are
willing to change them out seasonally...don't use them. The braided
cover traps grit and sand which then chafes/erodes the underlying rubber
line. And with the covering, you have no way to SEE what condition they
are in....until it's too late and you blow a line in mid brake.
