I too purchased Hervey's stainless brake lines but they are fine. I
did the same thing you did Walt, looked thru them, blow air thru but
found no issues. Pain in the rump installing the rear ones though.
John does have good prices on a lot of his stock, but sometimes can
be a loose cannon with a select few of his replacement parts. I
learned that you need to be selective with what you buy.
An example, is one thing that has me wondering about his new fans: do
they have a sensor that has to be installed in the upper radiator
hose (bypass the otterstat) or do they plug in as the OEM? I know it
says direct plug in replacement, but that doesn't really mean
anything to me.
I'm not trying to insult Hervey or question his practices, it's just
that I've had mixed results using his support. Either way, it all
works out in the end for me.
