View Full Version : What brake hoses?
Probably a rather dast question but...
I have been told that brake hoses are different, so can someone shed some light on this for an idiot (little words only please;))?
Basically down to is it worth the ~£20 extra for goodridge over hel? Or is there something better out there?
Cheers

HEL every time for me.
I happen to know Simon, who own's HEL, and he's a top bloke and his products are first class.
From what I understand, and I'm no expert on this, but HEL hoses are the best or equal to the best, so if they're cheaper - you'd be daft buying anything else.

You know Paul, after all those running hours, the rocker shafts on your avatar may be running out of bearings. They seem to move way out of acceptable limits, especially the top one.....LOL

Did I say HEL?
I meant Goodridge!!
Silly me. I'm easily confused (and persuaded)
:lol:
I've just switched to HEL over "others". Quality is up to anything out there, finish is just as good (read excellent), they are neater as they are swaged and above all the price is v. competitive. They come with new bolts and washers for what other lines cost on their own. Can't fault them.
