Has anyone ever installed all the brake lines throughout the whole vehicle with flexible braided? Lines on escort mk2 cosworth conversion I am running twin pot calipers from Cosworth rear brakes bias pedal box

Not personally but a mate of mine did.
Why do you ask?
lots of competition cars are actually plumbed in using only flex hose for brakes
I was thinking of doing it would you make them up yourself? Or have them custom made and are just as power full as hard lines
Apart from ease of fitting I see no advantage from fitting flexible brake lines throughout the car, you’re still going to need bulkhead fittings and separate flexible pipes to the axle. Also be careful with flexible pipes near a hot exhaust, the PTFE liner melts with the heat.
I am not familiar with a Cosworth twin pot rear calliper, only the single pot sliding one with handbrake mechanism.
No the rear brake are single pot cosworth with Flexi or ready on axle do you know Company that can make them up or would you make them yourself?
I would personally use the proper made up ones with crimped fittings by a company such as Hel instead of the make up at Home ones where flexible pipes are concerned.Originally Posted by Paul Finn
Do you no website where I can have a made
Im in the process of fitting stainless steel flexi brake pipes throughout to my rwd fiesta,
bought all the fittings and pipe off rally design, so i can make them up to run where ever.
BEWARE it aint CHEAP to do, with all the fittings and ends.

On my car I made all the brake-lines myself using flexi teflon braided brakelines. Made a drawing / layout of where all the parts are (calipers, cylinders) also what bulkhead fittings I needed.
Miniliteman,
thats exactly how im doing my project.
NO copper pipe to be found anywhere.
Not going to try and stop you doing 'front to back' braided hose - just struggling to see any advantages, just a few mild disadvantages?
The only advantage I can see is that it’s probably a little easier to fit as it will follow the contours of the floor better than kunifer, apart from that a complete waste of money.
