just got these today and man....are they exquisite or what:cool:
they really are a work of art and I can't wait to get to the stage of fitting them
the fittings are all stainless in kind of a gunmetal colour with stainless over braid on the pipe then covered in a transparent red plastic covering.
I cannot recommend Sylvain enough and a price comparison with what you can get in this country he still comes out on top because the A1 quality is there.
top man Sylvain Top man

Kev
Have you bought a full set of lines as Sylvian suggests on his website? I.e a braided line down the tunnel and braided lines direct to the back drums? If so can you give me the lengths then i can ask Sylvian for an idea of cost.

Cheers

Agree with supporting members, was just easier and quicker to go two miles down the road and make them to suit my needs.

Thank you very much Kevin, I think I turned almost as red as your brake lines when I read your first post :o. I'm very glad you're happy with the brake lines. It is actually a good job from the guys at the workshop of the company in France, and they have to get the credit for that, but I really appreciated, thanks.
Paul, I don't want of course competing with RD (how could I anyway?), but as I'm involved in building a Roadster myself, I can easily help other members planning and setting-up their brake line sets, as the book is quite "blur" on this topic, and that's been my job for 11 years. That has always been the main point :) .
For example, now that Kevin, Simon (Tatey) and some other fellows in Sweden have got their complete brake line sets, I have a better idea of the measurements, and I'll be soon able to start proposing «*standard*» packages for the different set-ups, at fixed prices.
So Handy (thanks for the support btw;) ) and Ken, you can PM me when ever you want, I'll be happy to help finding the most suitable set-up.
Karl, of course you can tell me any time the specs for the brake lines you won at the Christmas Raffle (car, model, year, and so on), and I'll make them send to you, there is no time limitation :p
Thank you all, have a nice week-end.
Sylvain
