wanted to check interest in a Stainless braided hose that is a direct replacement for the stocker. thinking of actually replacing the nipple and hose. the stock DOHC hose get saturated with oil and becomes mushy causing the brakes to be mushy and lose brake boost. I used to make them back in the day and wanted to see if there was any interest for them anymore, whos running a stock hose?

Fix the oil leak, and the OEM hose lasts for fifteen+ years. The last one I bought was about two years ago, $11.26; part number 10400822. Same as a 3.1 hose as far as I know. Popular number at that time, too.
[edit] I just checked GMpartsdirect.com; they're showing it at $6.29, but they probably rape you on shipping.
Are you planning steel-braid-over-rubber; or steel-braid-over-Teflon? The Teflon liner would be ideal except for the restricted bend radius.Last edited by Schurkey; 02-09-2010, 06:25 PM.^ some people may call this guy an asshole at times, but he isn't wrong very often -- RobertComment

I prefer to bend up a hard line and use short rubber or silicone connectors.

That'll be hard on the short sections of rubber/silicone if the engine rocks in the mounts--or--if a person forgets to disconnect the hose from the booster when rocking the engine forward for service.Originally posted by 86FieroSEv6 View Post
Not my first choice; although I've done similar stuff with other hoses. So much depends on the relative movement between the connected parts.^ some people may call this guy an asshole at times, but he isn't wrong very often -- RobertComment
