braided stainless brake line question I'm wanting to run a braided line for my brake lines (running aerospace brakes now). I've been told aeroquip makes a tfe line that will work. Has anybody else used a braided line through the whole car and what brand did you use?

I redid about 60% of my lines this year. From about the end of the transmission forward is all new hardline. The only place I used braided line was going to the front brakes. It was either -3AN or -4AN teflon line from Earl's. You'll need to get the proper adapters to go from the braided line to the calipers though.

Do all the major runs in seamless stainless tubing. Use -4 AN flares and fittings to make your connections. Only run the soft stuff to go from the hardlines on the frame to the wheels. The Aeroquip TFE -4 is the size that all the brake lines are in (1/8"). I don't know anyone that has run their entire car that way. It's possible, but I'm not sure what the effect of 30' of TFE will do to brake fade. It works ok on making the connections though.
