stainless braided brake lines installed

[Phyguy]

Mechanic came out and said, "Damn those are nice."

Is it ok that he loomed them with the other lines?

If the braid is exposed, I’d recommend using chafing protection, or a stand-off, at the point of contact in front like there is at the rear.

who makes the line and how much?

 

[Hockster]

Only thing about tying them with lines are not the same is they might rub through the other plastic/rubber lines over time.
I would suggest to use 2 zip ties one on the brake line and one on the other line and loop them through each other

Thanks. I'll do it.

Couple of our vendors make them. I got mine from Outlaw Raptor.

One other way would be to use one zip tie to loosely pull the two lines together and the other between the two lines pulling the first zip tie in to a figure eight.

I have a question, Did he mention any problems bleeding them.

I heard other new Ford trucks having problems bleeding the brakes.

I am asking because, I could never bleed the brakes in my 97 2dr Tahoe with Brembo brakes, I would always have to go the dealer so they could hook up it up to the computer, to make the anti lock system spin while bleeding the brakes, other wise you never get all the air out.

If anybody knows please chime in.

If you break the line after the the ABS controller you wont have a problem. If you break the line before the controller is when you have the problem with getting the air out. Easiest way is use the tool to activate the ABS unit and cycle the air out, but, you can also drive it and use the brake to activate the ABS also just takes longer and is a bit harder... And gravity bleeding works for the start then drive it to and hit the brake hard to get the ABS to activate...

I honestly don't know how they did it. They were doing the perch, rotate, balance and alignment so all tires were off. They had it on the lift and I know they had one guy in it pumping the brakes while another guy was going corner to corner. One guy then took it for a drive and then worked under it again for a few more minutes. I'd probably put my money on what Hockster said.

It's coated with a rubberish protectant. Seems good quality.

I had my last truck for 12 years and did about six full flushes with the Brembos, I gave up after the second try, I would drive for a week or so and then had spongy brakes. I also bought the reverse ******** thing, that does not work either. So for peace of mind I just paid $115 for fluid and bleeding.
