Hi everyone,

Just wanted to clear up some myths in regards to ADR approved braided brake lines.

The old ADR 7 meant that all braided lines had to pass a whip test.. and without the ADR approved sheaths over the line near the end fittings, they would not be ADR approved.

Like this..



This is now OBSOLETE.

The new regulation is..

So basically, anything which comes from one of the reputable manufacturers i.e. Goodridge, AP, etc, will be ADR approved. I cannot speak for any other manufacturer unless they specify that they are built to one of the above standards, but many would be.

To simplify it.. any braided line must fall under one of the other world standards to be ADR approved. They don't necessarily have to look like the image above to be ADR approved.

I take it the Goodridge G-Stop line (DOT Certified and T.U.V. approved) are compliant then?

Also they have an extremely poor QA and inspection before packaging them and sending the lines out to customers, for example ends missing with just roughly cut sharp braided lines left for installer like Dougie to cut there hands on and when a replacement is sent out they sent out another incomplete and unusable set.

QUALITY AT IT'S FINEST!
