Would there be any interest in an all Stainless steel brake line kit for a deuce?

[DieselBob]

I agree... but if your deuce is a keeper (I hope mine is) the idea of not having to screw around with lines in the future is tempting.

This is a timely post. I was thinking the other day I wish someone made a replacement hardline set for the deuce. Just about to start a brake system inspection / hose replacement and flush. I would be interested. For my uses function over appearance (doesn't have to be original material) is important.

I would be interested in a set for the 818. Maybe the deuce. All depends on price.

 

[bubba_got_you]

I also have an 818... I will ask him to look it over... see how it differs and what he thinks

That would be good. Brakes are the one thing I DON’T want to take a chance on.

You are so right.,..

When I lost my air assist my leg was soooo tired trying to stop the beast. The fate of my other leg was imminant.

 

[SCSG-G4]

Since I have five deuces, but do like to be able to stop, I'd be interested, but again, it depends on price!

 

[hklvette]

I'm interested in a set. I plan on keeping my deuce as long as its still in one piece or someone offers an obnoxious price for it.

What is everyone worried about with the 'original' aspect? put the lines on and paint them! They didn't come unpainted from the factory! I would love to replace mine, maybe not only sell the complete kit put piece by piece, that would be good. Start with the front and work your way back as you can afford it.

When (or IF) I ever get back to work, I would be interested,depending on price, as my truck is a daily driver and the added safety of new brake lines would be grand.. Wish we could get him to engineer a split conversion kit for the master and airpack to convert to ESP standards (USAF type application). Anything to improve the reliability of the brakes is a plus, besides there are soooooo many deuces out there, and few will ever get past motorpool grade restorations...


Thanks.

Heck yeah, I'm interested in the stainless lines, any chance of stainless braided flex hoses as well?

 

[scootertrs]

I am taking a set of hoses to them tomorrow see what we are talking about... if they can make them and quote me I will let the group know

 

[hndrsonj]

I think there would be a pretty good market for the lines including the lines on the rockwells. I don't think you could tell they were aftermarket after they were painted.

 

[Srjeeper]

I'd be very interested in a set of hard and soft lines for my deuce.

She's a 'Parade/Show Queen' and if any judge wants to gig me for havin SS lines instead of steel than so be it.

It's my fat goin down the road in it not his, but might be his kin ridin in the car in front.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Restores don't always frown on the disc brake converson for m37s, why should they care about stainless lines? It's all about upgrading the vehicle to be safer.

 

[dcwilkie]

Seein' how I'm replacing all my wheel cylinders and brake lines anyway, now would be the time to replace with SS. Hope to hear a price soon.

 

[scootertrs]

Guys, just dropped off a set of brake hoses at their shop to see if they are willing to make SS braided lines. They mentioned that they are not really interested in doing onesies or twosies... but would consider larger quantities. Next week I should know if and what their interest is. If anybody is interested in running with the deal, after they advise that they are interested, more power to them I will hook you guys up. All I can vouch for is that these guys have been making cylinders, brake lines and hoses for over 20 years, and I can personally attest to their quality of their work. I am not set up or interested in selling parts as a business. If somebody else is, great. I believe that they should be able to make the lines also. It is just a matter of it making sense (financial and headache wise). I will keep my fingers crossed... I would like my deuce fire truck and my 818 to be sporting braided SS lines.

 

[Capriceii]

Ya I would be on board, lol if I can ever get my M109 from dayton! Stopping is important

 

[gunner01]

count me in for a set for my deuce.....

 

[gunboy1656]

I am interested as well.

 

[ATC]

I am also interested. Brakes are the one thing I really do NOT trust on these trucks. I get a little paranoid every time I come up on a stop sign or a red light...
