Brake line liability

Lol, I don’t think you should, I was referring to Freightliner Classic,air brakes only. I have no idea if they’re rated for hydraulic brakes or not.

 

If an original fit hydraulic brake hose isn’t availiable for that chassis anymore due to being obsolete what are you going to do?
You have to make one. Or swap the whole truck over to air.
If the truck happens to be a tandem axle and was built before July of 1980 it doesnt need steer axle brakes anyway.

 

May I ask why you dont buy bulk steel lines and make your own? Much cheaper. Just make sure you double flare your fitting. Single flare is illegal on a steel line.

 

I'm thinking he's trying to put something flexible on for steering. I have no idea what kind of hose/crimp one would need to use in order to make a flex line to the steer axle if that's the case.

 

Any hydraulic hose shop should be able to make anything.

 

10-4, I wouldn't use it for hydraulic brakes either! If wanted field reuasable ends, it is legal to use stainless braided hose with Teflon liner on hydraulic brakes and clutch hoses. Just one source a quick Google search showed Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Brake & Clutch Hose - Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies
