Hmm, I don't have the company who did my custom brake lines written down, but they were ADR approved.

There are a few places that do them, including that one in Sunshine (Brakewest).

There are also some local places in the South Eastern suburbs, I assume they'd be in the yellow pages....but if you can't find someone I'll try and find out who it was.

Maltech do ADR compliant braided lines. Not overly that cheap though.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I'm looking for something that goes from the washer bottle / oil catch can in my GTR connecting to the engine if you guys know what i'm talking about. Not the braided clutch or brake lines

ENZED or PIRTEK would be the best bet.

re: braided lines for track applications.

Generally speaking, ADR approved lines AREN'T up to scratch for track work (method of construction), very light track work yes, anything above that.... no

Conversely, CAMS approved braided lines generally speaking AREN'T ADR approved, hence illegal to run in a street car.

I reckon you'd be unlucky to get pinged for em, so if you plan on doing any extended periods of track work, get CAMS approved ones.

I don't know the specifics, but the "crimping" method used to make ADR approved lines (adr approved lines will have a rubber bit with the ADR number stamped on it) doesn't cope with heavy use

Where are they located?

Apologies for side-tracking the topic but where did you hear that?

I've got a Japanese set of braided lines I'm selling, but if the ADR lines aren't that good I might keep the Japanese set.

Race Brakes (or whoever the SAU sponsor is) and confirmed by the maker of the group buy braided lines at Brake West (sunshine)

Race Brakes make lines for the V8 Supercars, and he explained the difference between a "street" braided line, and a track braided line.

Brake West said they can replace the rubber ADR fittings with metal ones (on the GB lines) to comply with CAMS, but then it's no longer ADR approved.

But you'd prob have to have a switched on officer to know though.... i reckon....

Interesting, I'm not concerned about defects, my lines look like there plastic (black plastic coating over plastic over braided line), my concern is insurance.

Saying I couldn't stop because I didn't have ADR approved lines if something ever happened would be an issue.

Thanks for the information.
