Does anyone have any recommendations for stainless brake hoses for the front discs. The current hoses are in a pretty poor state and I am considering replacing them.
Personally, I see no need for SS brake hoses. I do not believe that a Jimny can develop the sort of pressures that will create a bulge situation that could cause catastrophic failure in a hose. Stalker has evaluated his current hoses and believes he needs new ones and I would advise the fitting of standard hoses. I was also advised that it is dangerous to use brake hose clamps on SS as it can crimp the mesh.
I had some braided flexi lines on my last one and without question they improved the consistency of the brake pedal feel. The pedal was firm without being wooden and made modulating braking so much easier. I got mine as new old stock on here but there's a few different suppliers.

Thank you for the sound advice, I have been unable to find pipes which resemble the existing ones and they are out of stock at the Big Jimny shop, any suggestions?
Many thanks
I fitted Goodridge braided hoses to my old MX-5 and I can't say I felt any difference at all from the standard ones They were also a bit too long so the banjo connections had to be tightened at an angle to.prevent tyre rub.
