stainless brake hoses

I'm also looking for this. My rear axle travel is very close to the end of the drop down hose length and I haven't found anyone with that center line in stock for ages. I'll take a whole kit if I have to but mainly want the center line.
 
In case anyone is watching this thread, I just ordered a set of stainless lines from Slee - they're back in stock.
 
Thanks everyone for information on both sides. Slee shouldnt worry about losing sales. I understood how the product is different from OEM and gave me the full confidence to purchase. Nothing is perfect but being an informed buyer is what makes the difference.

However this leaves room for Slee to improve or a competitor to make a better product and take the market share. Maybe one of us will take that opportunity.
 
Emergency, the rear brake lines won't disconnect from rubber hose on the caliber side. I backed out the flarenut all the way, but it won't come out of the rubber hose that goes to the caliber. I can't pull it away and im just spinning and spinning, and the flare nut won't back out anymore.

The fronts and rear axle to frame were successful.

Any ideas?

You'd normally pull the retaining clip and then pull the soft line away from the hard line. Did brake fluid leak out when you undid it?

Thanks for replying. Yes I removed the retaining clip. It turns out this is a known issue. From factory the flare nuts in the rear are over torqued which causes the line to mushroom out just large enough where it doesnt pull away from the female end of the rubber line.

I decided not to take any chances to pull apart the line. I purchased new rear hard brake lines and will replace them and then install the stainless lines.

Ahh. That makes sense. Good info for other people to see about the flare as that could catch anyone off guard.
