Explains (in laymans terms) the workings and factors around brake performance...

I'm addicted to drinking Brake fluid, but that's ok because I can stop anytime I like...

If we order two sets of fronts only (not much point in upgrading the rear lines TBH) it comes to €65 each...

This this guy - Linky

Put FORUM in for discount code, saves you something like 15% - this offer mightn't last forever mind you!!

Good shipping price to Ireland as well...

Full set of HEL lines (two up front and single rear) for €68 - haven't seen better than that! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

Several boys on the TDM forum had big trouble with HEL lines. So a new supplier was sourced, Venhill.
e-bay link.

http://cgi.ebay.co.u...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

All lines feature a swivel fittings, which mean you don't have kinks in your lines.
Prices are bloody good as well.

Theres a lot of places around that make braided lines for hydraulic farm machinery etc....far cheaper than HEL etc...same stuff. We got some braided lines with fittings to take 800psi in Sligo(back when i was employed !)...iirc it cost 15euro for 2 metres.

Stand behind your actions, not your words.
