You can actually reach around and feel the hex against the backside of the caliper on the earlier and better cars.

Please include my order for one set of the late '95-'98 CLEAR Brake Lines.

From the "For what it's worth" file, a little brake line trivia

So, another RLer did some research and told us the CEO of Techna Fit was previously the CEO of Goodridge. I went to check it out and thought I just hit the "About Us" page on their web site

Sure enough...

With 30 years industry experience, including Deutsch Aerospace and President of Goodridge USA, Stuart Trotter founded Techna-fit in 1996.

Our corporate headquarters, warehouse and assembly plant are located Torrance California USA with a second warehouse and assembly plant located in Brownsburg, Indiana.

not sure what sort of quantity it would take to get there... but it would have to be massive!

Thanks for the participation
That said, we *may* be able to get the price a few $ lower
We are trying

Just sent in my order for RED!

Will we be billed once pricing is finalized? EDIT: Answer: Kellie will send Paypal invoice with final billing after GB ends.

Do we get FDM decals with our orders?

With regular street use how often should these lines be replaced?

Is it mileage, age or ?

I would guess more age, as the rubber inside would break down over time more so than with brake fluid going back and forth, but that is just a guess.

I'm not sure what the recommended replacement time frame is on 993 brake lines, but with our cars getting upwards of 18 years old, I would think at the very least you should inspect them once or twice a year.

You guys should have told me about these when my car was in the shop, I totally would have had you put these in at the same time.
