stainless braided hoses?
I am sorry if this has been posted before, but in my searching I was unable to find what I was looking for. I have a 1971 f100. I upgraded the front brakes to discs from a 76'. I have all my factory hard lines in place and now I need brake hoses. I can find rubber hoses all day long. Does anyone know of someone that makes these in stainless braided, or someone that knows their stuff and can make me some?
Once again, I apologize if this has been talked about before.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: stainless braided hoses?
I have had my local Napa build me braided brake lines, but they're a little pricey IMO. Look at http://www.speedwaymotors.com or http://www.daymotorsports.com. I've used both places for braided hoses for my stock car and have been happy with the quality. You can get the hoses in various lengths and fitting configurations.

Re: stainless braided hoses?
I appreciate the responses guys. I checked those two links, but was unable to get them to work for me. I will try with my local napa this weekend though.

Re: stainless braided hoses?
I've edited the links and got them to work. IIRC the lines from NAPA cost me $45 each, the braided lines from the linked places run around $20 apiece.
