 Are the hydralic hoses from the brake line to the wheels on a 2500M
 standard Triumph TR6?  Mine are 27 years old, and I think one has finally
 sprung a small leak.  In any case I want to replace them. Does anyone
 have strong feelings one way or the other regarding the advantages of 
 metal braided hoses?

Hello,

I really like the braided stainless.  Helps provide a nice firm brake pedal. 
(and looks good doing it) 

Yesterday the set for my Griffith arrived.  I even had the clutch line made.  
Paragon Performance.   www.paragonperformance.com    These guys have made 
lines for every TVR I've owned.  In fact I've sent them original lines from a 
Vixen, Vixen 2500, 2500M, and Griffith 200, so they already have all the 
important specs.  They have the TVR lines listed on their web page, and these 
guys, without a doubt, make the nicest braided stainless brake lines I have 
seen.  Their DOT approved lines have a Kevlar sheathing under the outer 
stainless braiding.

To me it's a no-brainer. Stainless works better, looks better, and doesn't 
cost that much more than rubber.
