Hi folks looking at upgrading my brake lines and was dead set on ordering a set of HEL stainless hoses untill my old man directed me onto
www.venhill.co.uk they have a great reputation for their hoses, ie. clutch, throttle, etc etc but i haven't heard anything about their brake lines. they come with everything HEL provide and are around the same price range, i'm just not sure if they are a good as HEL. any brits have an oppinion they'd cre to share about them. i'm guessing it's a british manufacture so maybe you'd have an idea.
Brake lines are brake lines, as long as you are getting stainless ends, and only clear or black shrink-wrap. Swaged ends are better than bolted ones, but just for looks and access to the banjo bolts. Some of the swaged ones turn at the end, which is handy as otherwise they can tend to sit under twisting tension. Just don't ask me to remember which. That's a handy feature.
