Oh! Well not according to Goodridge today! Maybe he was confused too.
I actually hadn't thought about the flexi hose from rear arm to floor at all. So what about the flexi hose from the front struts to the under inner wing/chassis rail? Does this stay Ford normally?
Surely the idea of the braided kits are to stop the flexi hose expanding/swelling under pressure. And so leaving this as the std Ford rubber would simply move this issue to this weakest section of the brake line?
