Looking for braided brake lines

[Wrcscooby]

I'm looking for a little better pedal feel , is anyone aware of and stainless braided brake lines for the Mav? I gotta do brakes soon anyway, so I might as well.

Contact Motion & flow in San Leandro CA. 1-833-300-2114. They in house build your brake lines. The highest quality. Have purchased for my Harleys and 4 inch over length for my Raptor.

I doubt that you will find any that are DOT approved, and therefore legal to use on-road. Braided lines hold a lot more moisture and mud to cause corrosion and early failure. They are not what you want in a non-race vehicle.

Being in NY you might try Stainless Steel Brake Corporation (SSBC) over in the Buffalo area. Edit: Actually looks like they mostly just do the squeezy parts and still use regular hoses, but they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Disinformation here I believe. IF that is true why is every line including brakes on my father's citabria acrobatic plane stainless braided. Observed temp variations-30 to 190 in minutes on tarmac. This manufacturer states there lines are dot.

You didn't quote whoever you are responding to, but you are correct.

Good braided lines have a PTFE core, woven stainless steel jacket, and an outer plastic layer that keeps contaminants off the stainless steel, and keeps the stainless steel from ever acting as an abrasive in your wheel wells. I have bought DOT-compliant sets from several manufacturers and installed these kinds of lines on 3 different cars and 2 motorcycles.

And I question, how does a protective material?Such a stainless steel braid added over the rubber allow greater moisture. Same hose just braided stainless overlay. Please explain.

Master blaster made these statements. See post 3.

Braided brake lines won't make a damn bit of difference in brake "feel".
Kinda like ceramic "paint treatment".......if it makes you feel better buy it.

Trust me, bro.

Agree...except maybe if your rubber lines are completely shot. Otherwise, the only advantage is part life & durability vs. the OEM rubber.

I could see that, but we're talking about a Maverick here, so it's pretty likely the OP won't "feel" any difference.

Your father's airplane does not get into mud and salt.
