Stainless braided flexible brake lines

[michaelganss]

Hi everyone
I’d like to upgrade my rubber hoses to stainless braided, but they don’t seem to be supplied by the usual P5 parts vendors.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Thank you

I have Goodridge hoses on my car, although they are stainless steel they still have a lining and that will deteriorate over time, so they will probably need replacing in 10 years time.
Are they worth the extra money over rubber hoses, possibly not, but they look nice !

I'm in OZ so obviously can't recommend a supplier for a Rover P5 but all you really need to do is to locate (Google) a brake parts/hydraulic hose shop (not an automotive garage/workshop) and they will fabricate the stainless braided brake hose for you from your P5 sample. That's all any Rover supplier of this type of brake hose will do...and probably double the price.

The stainless braided hose shown below is for my Coupe. It has a special synthetic liner and is legal for road use. In Victoria OZ stainless braided hoses that can be disassembled are not legal for road use but are for off road rally cars. Kind of weird but that's the law in Victoria.

So best to check out your country's/region's regulations before fitting a set of these hoses for any anomalies that may exist.
