Braided lines + other

[roystinho]

Just sorting out some fresh brakes for the track car before getting it out, hopefully at Cadwell next month, and giving them a full overhaul. Now looking for brake lines, some are stainless steel fittings other have zinc. What's the difference?

Fluid - DOT 4 or RBF 600?

Being fit alongside HC disks and ds2500s - I think this is the best combo as it'll be used for my short commute until I move house.Any thoughts?

Cheers

ATE Super Blue DOT4 and Goodridge stainless hoses. Job done. Choice of pads and discs is perfectly fine.

Cheers guys.

Whats the difference between the stainless steel contacts and the zinc ones though? More for curiosity than anything else

stainless do exactly what they say on the tin, but cost a few pennies extra

 

[roystinho]

Is that it? Who would go for the cheaper ones by about £5 then?

BTW not questioning you, just saying it seems odd

Skimp on brakes? No thanks.

That's the reason for stainless lines.

Is this the right stuff?

How much fluid will I need for a full change? Thanks

 

[mr.pink87]

About 1L.
