On the list of things to do I'm after a set of Braided brake hoses for a 94 4.0 Chimaera, had a bit of a surf and there seems to be a few different options available at various different specialists scratchchin
Not a massive difference in prices but theres no point spending more than I have to (but obviously not compromising quality wink) current favourites seem to be Demon Tweeks Goodridge kit at £54 but anyone got any opinions on the mater? rotate

ACT do appropriate hoses

I have just bought a set from Goodridge.

The only difference maybe stainless steel ends (recommended according to ACT) over zinc plated..

From a preious thread, it is unlikely to have much of a difference, but better than the originals.

The ones on the car are 'orignal' 1994 vintage and from the last service could do with replacing, so may as well upgrade (and I bet they are cheaper than TVR original). rotate

Braided hoses are a good upgrade Steve, coupled with decent fluid should be the start of any brake tinkering wink I seem to recall that Ian Greenwood used to sell some quite reasonable?

Thumbs up for Goodridge, but get them from Proven Products or direct from the factory. Demon thieves are very expensive.

These were the cheapest when I bought mine.
