steel braided hose

[Hanbyul]

Hi.

our team trying to use steel braided hose

but our engine and other stuffs are designed

for rubber hoses so we cannot directly connect

the hoses to the parts. So I think we can use

the original rubber hose a little to connect

parts and steel braided hose. But I don't know

it works well. Is there anyone who have similar

problem with me? How can I solve this problem?

the above system is enough? please give me some

advice.

thanks.

Well, i would assume by "other stuffs" that this is mainly for your cooling system? You can buy special ends for braided hose that use a hose clamp or you can buy AN fittings that you can weld to your radiator and filler. Some teams even use aluminum tubes with beaded ends and couplers.

Steel braided hose? If this is for cooling I would reconsider.

Aluminum hardline is the way to go, IMO.
