I was not able to successfully install the Goodridge hoses because I =

of the hard line to the flexible Goodridge line. Copper crush washers =
should be installed wherever SS line flares connect to a union point. =
The screw mating between the Goodridge hose and the SS line flare only =
engaged a couple of threads and I did not trust the integrity of the =
union. I emailed or sent a letter to Goodridge about this issue and =

the brakes work as good as they can.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake hoses
=20
In my thusfar relatively unsuccessful quest for a consistently hard =
brake pedal I've decided to replace several components that do not owe =
me anything--namely the brake hoses and the rear wheel cylinders which =
have been on the car for at least ten years.
MOSS sells several different brake hoses--stainless steel by Goodridge, =
braided stainless steel by Cobalt, and unbranded "stock" ones As between =
the two metal hoses does anyone have a recommendation for one or the =
other based on their experience, either negative or positive? I have BT7 =
front discs and stock BN1 rear drums.
