This is a subject I know something about!
There are 2 types of Stainless Braided hose: Rubber or Teflon tube.
Each has its benefits & drawbacks.
Teflon is the top end. Handles all fluids and temperatures really well but suffers from a high price and does not bend well. If you bend Teflon hose past its specified bend radius it will crack underneath the braiding and leak (Not good for a brake line!)
The rubber alternative is just about as good, and cheaper, but much harder to find.
The Victorian supplier of Aeroquip racing components can be found here: Aeroquip Performance Products
You could make any line yourself: brake, fuel, air, etc...
(Just make sure that the items you buy are DOT approved, then they will comply with ADI standards too, and not void your warranty/insurance/rego)
The link to H.E.L (who uses Aeroqip too) is: H.E.L. UK
The Queensland mob is very good if you want pre-assembled lines!
Drop me a line if you want catalogues or more info!
