DESCRIPTION
Our Techna-Fit brake line kits come complete with all of the fittings and bolts for easy assembly. Techna-Fit high performance stainless braided brake lines eliminate the mushy pedal feel you get when your OEM rubber lines expand.
Two Year Ranges - be sure to select the correct one for your MINI Cooper's production date:
- Cars with production dates on or before April 2003 have a banjo fitting where the rear hose attaches to caliper.
- Cars with production date of May 2003 and later do not have the banjo fitting at the rear caliper - the line threads directly into caliper.
** If you have an 05-08 convertible, then the later year range 03-06 is the version you need.
All of Techna-Fit's assemblies are assembled in-house, meeting D.O.T. Certification. Techna-Fit brake lines are made using teflon hose. The teflon hose has an extruded teflon core, with an outer stainless steel braided wire covering. The chrome or zinc plated steel fittings are then permanently crimped on each end. All Techna-Fit hoses have a PVC cover, which gives added protection from flying debris; it also gives some abrasion protection from the line rubbing on suspension parts, in extreme braking conditions, with full compression (most movement of line). One advantage is that Techna-Fit lines reduce volumetric expansion. Over time and under continuous use, OEM rubber lines can swell and expand, exposing the driver to brake fade. The rubber cover is also vulnerable to attacks from the ozone layer (rubber deteriorates and causes failure). In extreme applications (auto x, racing, hard driving) rubber hoses might be susceptible to debris, thus causing failure. Stainless steel hoses provide some added protection from these issues. All Techna-Fit's factory assembled line kits are backed by their lifetime warranty.
