Dick,

After a long heart-to-heart chat with an engineer at Paragon
Performance, we've gone back to the drawing board. The hoses will be
DOT Approved(not just DOT spec), all exposed parts will be stainless
steel and they'll be a direct replacement for OEM(no long looping hoses,
bending steel lines or scrounging for parts).

Stay tuned - hopefully I'll have something in hand in a few weeks.

Gang, Can someone direct me to the archive containing info about the
specifics of new flex BRAKE LINES between the steel lines and the individual
wheels?
There has been some chatter here on the topic, including comments to the
effect that the lines TSM offers DO NOT meet DOT SPECS.
I'm looking for the most durable -- yet DOT APPROVED -- lines WITHOUT
resorting to the rubber OEM hoses with the sponginess, heat, fatigue, etc
problems they pose. IS there a better alternative?
Seems a shame to go 6 way discs if some of that effectiveness and safety
will have to be given back with old hose technology.
Thanks

Hello all !
Anybody remember the amount and sizes of steel brake lines used in the 26'
Palm Beach.
BTW I switched from Regular grease to Moly then to Mobile 1 Synthetic. I
don't know chemically if there is incompatability problems but I doubt it.
This assumes we are talking about Ball Joints, Tie Rod ends, Center Drag
Links and Pitman Arms NOT repeat NOT Wheel Bearings, CV Joints, Universal
Joints.

Ok I'll bite. Why are you excluding wheel bearings, CV joints and universal
joints?
