[QUOTE="msalvetti, post: 6714847, member: 182610"] The problem with the steel braided lines is that it may be hard to find DOT-approved since they can't be inspected under the braid. Race cars use them, but those are harsher conditions and they are replaced regularly. Newer lines may be certified, but this wasn't always the case. If the brake hoses are starting to deteriorate, you can only tell by cutting them open unless they are really bad. The inner walls will be obviously broken down. But I wouldn't expect an issue until 15 years or so. That's the rule of thumb replacement period for classic cars. [/QUOTE]
