I just purchased a set from Moss. They appear to be very high quality, but I'm concerned because they are less flexible than the originals, and they are lightly contacting the upper ball joint assemb

With a little (ok, a lot) of fiddling you should be able to put a slight twist in the hose to stop it from touching anything. The end attached to the frame can be loosened, twisted, and tightened- be

Open-track tech inspectors will not allow a car on the track even if there is a mere hint of rubbing. If there appears to be excess hose, you can tie it off with a cable-tie; just make that the line

Since, as you say, they are less flexible, you should be able to loosen the end with the set nut and reposition the line so the bend is away from the parts that might rub. That's what I did on my Sp

Braided steel hoses if left in contact with metal object have the same effect as running a file across the component. The hoses should be retained so that they don't come in contact with anything thr

Charlie asks: You should be concerned about letting braided brake hoses rub against anything. They are like a hacksaw and will go through the ball joint in short order. Its amazing how abrasive they

I put the Moss braided steel hoses on my TR6 a year ago. No problems or contact with anything. Brian

In reading the messages regarding Stainless braided brake hoses, I have noticed that several people have noted that they do not swell like the rubber ones do. This is very true as I have noticed. As

Joe, and others, Has anyone replaced the rubber radiator hoses with SS braided lines ? I see the upside of such a replacement but how do you attach them to the pump and radiator ?

I haven't used those myself, but I'd guess you attach them just like the rubber ones, with hose clamps. Regards, Joe Curry -- "If you can't excel with talent, triumph with effort." -- Dave Weinbaum

I have not done this... I have heard somewhere... that they're too stiff... and therefore... engine vibration/movement will be taken up by the radiator itself.. thereby damaging it in time... I can i

Stainless steel/Teflon hoses do not tolerate abrasion at all well, and if the line has been twisted (the hose nut not captured as the swivel fitting is tightened), they will very likely fail early. W

Stainless steel on hoses serves two purposes, to protect the rubber hose inside them and to prevent expansion. As far as far as radiators go a bit of expansion is a good OK. The hot rodders use a lo

I didn't start this thread... and I'm not the one interested in doing this... I don't like that sleeve stuff. I don't like steel braided line for radiator hoses... I'd rather just see the rubber hose
