I am installing a Hurst line lock on my 75 f250 and would like to use flexible brake line between the proportioning valve and the solenoid. I would also like to swap out the two lines between the master cylinder and proportioning valve.

Any concerns I should have with using flexible brake line. .. other than the cost?

 

IF whatever flexible line you'd use is rated for the pressure and use there should be no huge down sides. Question though--will this be an appearance thing with fancy lines or you thinking along another line?

For some reason I'm seeing external chromed braiding inside a tricked out engine bay?

 

Well, not tricked out, but working on it. .

As for functionality, I like working with flexible lines rather than hard lines. Just seems easier to fit.

 

Hurst is one of our sister companies, so I can tell you with confidence that you won't have any problems using flexible brake line with your Hurst roll control. Make sure to use the appropriate diameter line and it will not only be totally functional, it should look pretty nice as well!

 

As awesome as Hurst was and probably still is they've yet to replace the beautiful Ms Linda Vaughn as a spokes model.

The aforementioned Ms Vaughn was also of the right diameter, fully functional and looked pretty spectacular as well!

 

I have a local shop here that makes SS brake lines for cheap (and any other hose you can think of...they are known for their commercial hydraulic hose). I ran SS braided hose on the rear axle of my '78...all the way from the frame to the calipers. Worked great! I think I paid $40 for all of it.
