I believe there can be electrostatic corrosion between the alloy fittings they use and your calipers. I've just ordered some HEL lines with stainless steel fittings.

The dangerous problem with corrosion aflicting the area between two disimilar metals on brake lines was with alloy banjo fittings being used with steel braided lines.

Zinc plated bolts separated by copper crush washers wouldn't be a problem - they will look minging after a year but they won't be dangerous. You really do have to penny pinching in the extreme not to go for a full stainless steel set (i.e. including the bolts themselves).

Wezmoto is a nice enough one man band specialising in chatting up manufacturers and getting rid of their old or (as in this case) cheap ranges on e bay.

All the manufacturers (including Goodridge) offer full stainless sets. It has to be said HEL have been rather better at getting their product in the magazines in the last 2 years.

get a set with a covering over the braid as the braid will get really grubby and cuts
anything it rubs against like a saw !

I was looking at these for the thunderace , its a T plate and on original pipes , but still smacks you eyes into the visor when you brake , what about the goodridge with ss banjos ? they are doing them for £69 ?
