I put stainless hoses on my TR6 after I rebuilt my brakes and switched to DOT
5 (silicone) fluid. The word is that DOT 5 gives an increased spongy feel to
the pedal. I haven't noticed any sponginess in my brakes, however. Maybe
the stanless hoses compensated for the DOT 5 fluid.(??)

IMHO, it's difficult to have an accurate point of view on those wonderful
'stainless steel brake hoses', or 'gooridge', etc, because everyone (and me)
compare *old* rubber hoses to *New* 'stainless' hoses. Is there anyone here who
has compare *new* rubber hoses to *new* 'stainless' hoses ? (And way of bleeding
is very important, too)

on wheel cylinders!! (spitfires))
