FRAGOLA BRAKE LINES FROM SUMMIT RACING
Oct 7th
Summit Racing reckon that we shouldn’t mess around when we build brake lines, power steering, or even nitrous oxide. They supply Fragola’s 6000 Series PTFE-lined hose.
A spokesperson told me: “They can handle corrosive and high-pressure fluids that can quickly kill ordinary rubber hose, even the stainless braided stuff. PTFE hose also resists higher temperatures than rubber and does not suffer from fuel permeation that will quickly degrade and dry out rubber hose. You can get 6000 Series PTFE-lined stainless hoses with or without a clear or black cover to prevent the stainless braid from scratching or scuffing parts the hose contacts.”
