Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes Why steal brake lines.....

I was watching Speed Vision last weekend and they explained the difference between DOT Appoved and NON-DOT Apporved Brake lines.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOT AND NON-DOT ARE PLASTIC GUARDS ON THE ENDS WHERE THE HOSE AND COUPLING COME TOGETHER.

I thought it was something more than that but its not and the picture Joe has up on the SP web page shows them with the plastic guards which makes them DOT Approved.

Thanks guys for reminding this "ORF". Replace rubber brake hoses.
I did some serious digging year or two ago and the street and the quarterly 500 mile trip that includes brake smoking Chicago I-80, I ended up using Castrol's GT LMA. Low moisture absorbtion most important for my needs. I've been very pleased. I've buried the nose many times on I-80. Dont' know why Joilet built a special race track, I-80,55,294 and 90 provides plenty. Then being from a small farm town in Ohio, I noticed right away. The only bad thing my wife doesn't like--- my exuberant partication.
