The Brock Shop at Springwood. Did all the braided lines on my brother's Type 3 and all ADR approved with the tag and codes attached to each line.

I haven't had braided lines made up by them (yet) but I've found Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch pretty good for a few things... like hard lines and
other "weird" bits to make a 944 master cylinder fit into a bug nicely. I'd asked about the braided lines, and was told to expect about $90 per
corner, varying a bit with length.

Due to time constraints over the last week and this week, i have jsut grabed some normaly flexiable lines. But once the move is done, I will be
getting soem made up, so might ring a few of those ppl and sort it out.

They are even cheaper in bulk. Expect to pay under $40 a hose if you get a few friends together and put in an order for multiple cars at the same
time.
The easiest way I've found is to take them a sample (ie current factory hose) and they will dublicate it in braided.

the ones we got made from the brock Shop cost about $400 from memory. But the rear lines we got made in braid run from the calipers all the way up the
trailing arms to the block at the end of the tunnel. So they are almost 800mm odd long which wasn't cheap but I will certainly look at BHSS if they
are as cheap as you guys say. Are their lines fitted with the DOT approved tag??
