Hi,

Loads of Jap car owners swear by braided clutch hoses for better feel and no leaks.
Seen a Fiat coupe with them, but does anybody know where to get one for the bravo???
Im looking for the HLX.

Cheers
 
I couldn't find anything the other day so suspect it may be a custom made piece

In general and speaking from the hydraulic point of view, they are a bit better due to the outer metal layer that additionally prevents the hose from expanding.
But, that can be seen and felt on the brakes, due to bigger pressures and longer period of use (holding the brake pedal), on the other hand, you use the clutch for short intervals, low pressure.

Noe on the leak subject, all hoses can leak, and braided hoses only have ONE layer more and that is on the outside, so the less leak situation has nothing to to with the hose it self, but rather that they are made with higher quality materials.

Locations to buy them - in general they can be made in places that make hydraulic hoses in size, length and for what ever pressure to 400Bar you need them, the only problem can be the lack of endings as not all have them in stock.

That is all from me. ;)
