    Looks like direct replacements, Sam - I was making use of new parts I had laying around for a stock car that we were building at the time but we had to give up on it

    I haven't bought them yet but will soon. Talking to an ex member of the board was what helped me make my decision.

    Those are the ones that I used, you can also get the one for the rear with the distribution block made on it.

    Can you actually feel any difference in the ss than the rubber? I am thinking about getting some even though the ones on the car are just few yrs old.

    I have not been able to drive the cars yet, they are both projects. I bought them because they are ss and you can get collars to match the car color.

    Well, I noticed a much firmer feel, whether or not that was because my rubber hoses where old, plus all of http://m.ebay.com/itm/330732074655?nav=SEARCH (Brake Hoses Unlimited) are manufactured by Nick in the USA and are DOT approved. He can also customize any length, along with any end fitting you prefer for your application, just drop him a message.
