[DeTomaso] Brake hoses

[Patrick Hals]

Braided hoses : get them, Noooooooo hesitation, not ONE second. 
It's one of the first things I had changed on Candy. How many dollars is your life worth when it comes to security and efficient reliable brakes. Candy hit a tyre wall straight with Shalit Jacob in Palm Springs back in the early 90's, and I wouldn't want this to happen to me...

  I don't even think new rubber brake hoses are available anymore, which makes 
  the question rather moot.   But in any case, the only disadvantage to braided 
  stainless steel/teflon hoses are the increased cost.   Otherwise, they are 
  stronger, more durable, and don't balloon like rubber hoses, delivering better 
  pedal feel as a result.

  Don't even think twice about the decision to switch to new hoses--just go for 
  it! :>)
