What do you do with your front brake lines to stop them getting damaged ??

I used a large spring on my last Baja wrapped around the flexible line, this stopped rocks etc from damaging it. Is this the best way, or should I have something made up from PIRTEK/ENZED ??

Braided lines are the go.
They are stronger and give you better feal. Most of them are shielded by a plastic sleeve for added protection. Motorbike's have used them for ages.
You can run a steel line along the top of the front beam so the hose is closer to the caliper and alot higher. If you are able to check out an offroad racer that is also a huge help. They put the machines through hell.
