How is the quality of the brakes. I am looking at their race brakes.

I had some real time consuming problems but was able to fix everything and make it work. Quality is good. Instructions are bad. Customer service is good. I do have mine installed and working fine now. You will save about 30-31 pounds.

You don't have to buy their expensive hose kit to make it work either. I bought two $5 high pressure stainless steel fittings to connect my lines.

Do you remember what size those fittings are? That is alot of weight savings off of the front end.

They are Swagelok stainless steel fitting SS-500-1-2 male connector. If you call Houston Center Valve & Fitting Co., 713 527 0233, they are same as on their invoice number 412131 $5.90 each

So that fitting is actually an adapter that adapts our metric brake lines to the areospace brake itself?
thanks for all of the info.

I cut my lines at the saddle (?) connector that is bolted to the caliber. I used the Swagelok compression fitting on this line. Our brake tubing is 5/16". I did not disconnect the fitting from the rubber to the steel line.

Be sure to deburr the line, clean it and insert the tubing all the way into the fitting. Torque to recommended specs. Be sure to make your cut on the line where it is round. It needs to be round to fit the tube fitting properly.
