hahahah, ok so they are on the ball

Possible for it to still work if you can find a random proxy site thats not on their list. Ask Sergei, i'm sure he will know a couple

I wonder if they log users that access known work around sites....

Thanks, I am already watching the ones on TM but wanted an idea on other suppliers so I know if they are good deal or not as I have no idea what these retail for?

Can anyone give an idea on prices and brands/quality through various suppliers?

I would think $200 - $250 should cover it. I would recommend buying from a local supplier as I had no end of trouble sorting replacements after recieving my Goodridge lines with some random fitting on the ends.

I didn't notice any difference between braided & stock lines either... so unless gravel rash is a major concern (it shouldn't really be a problem) I would recommend putting the money into good pads, replacement fluid, and a master cylinder stopper.

Rally regs require either braided brake lines or protection of factory lines, so yeah it is for gravel.

Rally regs require either braided brake lines or protection of factory lines, so yeah it is for gravel.

This section? Schedule A 7.1
External lines and cables shall be protected from damage (stones, corrosion, mechanical breakages, body flex etc.)

I always interpreted this to mean that you had to leave on the plastic covers that cover the lines that run down the vehicle near the sills. Flexible lines in the factory position are not really exposed to stone damage because of where they are... The wording of the rule is not terribly specific, it also doesn't say that braided lines require no additional protection.

Isnt it a case of at a minimum you cover them with good old plastic conduit and afew zip ties.. So should a lovely sharp rock fly up to the flexable hose it has less chance of slicing it?

[Mr Revhead]

that's the minium I would do for a rally car
rocks and stuff get EVERYWHERE

[Loudtoy]

Although mine has the standard lines, apart from where they are internal, and thats done a fair few events on gravel, in fact i can count 4 seal events in the log book and i've got one spare page left. Never been sliced or cut or damaged yet. Also never been pulled up at scrutineering with them. I read it as the factory ones are ok because from factory they have the outer covering over the line that the fluid runs through, so has covering.
PS Think those braided ones on trade me are a worker from proparts getting them cheap on his work account then selling them off. I could be wrong however

No, it means that you should cover the standard lines with a protective covering to prevent stone damage.

Got me thinking about mine and i know you'l be the man to answer the question. Do the standard lines with there standard outer protection meet these requirements or do they need something else over top of them

[TRD Man]

The short answer is that they need additional protection. For the flexible lines that run to the caliper most people spiral cut some plastic hose to wind over them and tape at each end.
For the lines that run under the body and are supported by the bolt on plastic cover you've got a couple of options.
Personally, I always run these inside the car but if you don't want to do that the standard cover would probably meet the regulation however I would add some other protective membrane inside the cover to prvent stones getting through the holes these usually have in them.

standard lines... so braided doesnt need protective covering? Is braided assumed to be the protective covering?

[TRD Man]

Yes, braided is protected. Although some people still cover these with hose. Your choice.

[B1NZ]

Racetech are Goodridge agents. Why not drop in & see what they've got?

its being able to get there during the week, they are not open on weekends and dont seem helpful when it comes to buying things, might go and see mclennans or ABC/Mossrax then, maybe even road and track?
