Thread: Braided brake lines

Re my Power Brakes post ^ ^ ^.

They make there own & are tested by TECALMIT to the relevant standard. Some fittings they bought to use, failed, so making their own now.

Well it's been two years since this thread but I just bought a set of the Goodridge hoses from Paddocks. $125 to my door for the package which included a bunch of other small bits and pieces.

As for the legality of them I just did some googling and found this.

Which amongst other things says

Braided hoses are acceptable provided they are approved and correctly marked. Refer

AIS Information Sheet 7 – Braided Brake Hoses.

AIS Information Sheet 7 says this

Queensland Transport has approved a number of brands of stainless steel brake hose
assemblies that comply with Australian Design Rule 7/00 (Hydraulic Brake Hoses). The
braided brake hose assemblies may be utilised on both motor cars and motor cycles.

Details of approved stainless steel brake hose assemblies are as follows:

GOODRIDGE
This hose is manufactured by Goodridge Ltd and the following identification details must be
embossed on the line nipple:

GOODRIDGE

(Company Name)

TYPE 1

(Type of hose)

MONTH and YEAR of MANUFACTURE

The external diameter of the hose is 5.0 mm (excluding protective sheath), 6.3mm (1/4 inch)

with sheath and an internal diameter of 3.2 mm (1/8 inch).

As well as a bunch of other brands.

So they are quite legal in Qld so I'm happy. Was fitting them anyway mind you
