Hel/Goodridge braided brake lines

Post by **Donald** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 9:12 pm

Anyone got a set or know the cheapest place to purchase from? Need all four. Cheapest I've seen is £66 excl. delivery.

Thought I would try here first before I purchase new.

Goodridge best, in my motorcycle experience, try a local specialist hose supplier first, like hyphose, they specialise in commercial air fittings / hoses, but are often also agents for Goodridge.

Get a custom set made up matey, I think it cost me £20-25 for the front hoses on my Accord, and they were long bastards

Btw I'd be more helpful and post a link but the site I used has gone

I think you can make them on the HEL website though - the site I used was basically a HEL white site

Give @TDCAutomotive a shout. He's a HEL dealer and promised discounts for the club.

Had considered it but going off your estimate of 20-25 for just the fronts we can probably say the same if not near enough for the rears. I'd rather not have the hassle of it and the fixings with no real guarantee so at that point I'm more than prepared to pay a few percent more for peace of mind.

I realise that's probably a bit of a lazy attitude.

Cheers Nafe, I did remember that thread but looked on their site/eBay and saw only 3G/4G stuff.

I will drop an email if they don't pop in here before I get to it.

Allow me to be controversial and suggest that the quality of the hel brake pipes is likely better than that of the goodridge based on my reading, mainly to do with the quality of the banjo connection on them.

Interesting, i'll be sure to do a comparison of both, next time the occasion arises.

He's a dealer so should be able to get 5th gen ones.
