Braided vs rigid

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Claude,

The stainless steel braided clutch line sold by us and most of the other DeLorean vendors is "aircraft quality". It is much more resistive to crimping or crushing than a rigid (solid) tube, therefore the braided flexible line is far superior to a rigid line. As a side benefit it is much easier to install than a rigid line.

I Would think that a solid Stainless Steel(but bigger than above) 
line attached to Flexable SHORT Braided Steel lines(at each end)
(slave and master) (to avoid flexing the solid line) would BE 
superior to just a full length Braided Steel line(because of the 
flexability,if not bolted to the frame every foot or less or so.That 
is the reason car makers do not run full length flexable brake/clutch 
lines.
