I am using these with castrol srf. They work great. Popular with 500e

I am not interested in slip on covers. I couldn't care less about
appearance. I care about performance with DOT4 and DOT5 fluids.
I put new hoses on the 1980 123 and they swelled shut within a year. (as

Slip-on braid is bling. It can't fit tight enough to do what the metal braid
is supposed to do,
as regards braking performance.
You do NOT want metal braid, of any flavor, for general driving. Abrasion from

Those stainless braid over teflon or nylon tubing 'racing brake hoses' aren't
for use by normal people, especially those of us who live on dirt roads.
Get some sandy road grit in the braid and they chew themselves to pieces in a
year or two.

Has anyone ever purchased the brake hoses used by custom car builders
that are braided SS on the outside? I was wondering if those are
available for a 123. If you have used them what was the source, and
were you satisfied with the performance?
