Ken, one manufacturer is Goodridge (UK company). Another is Aeroquip. I
have the Goodridge hoses which I obtained from Moss (USA). I think TRF
sells Aeroquip. There are likely other sources and brands as well. You
may even be able to get them made locally although the fittings may be
hard to get.
I have not yet installed mine but plan on doing so in the next couple of
weeks. Everyone who has them seems to agree on the fact they give a
"firmer" pedal feel since they do not flex as much as the rubber hoses.
Recently there was a thread warning about the chafing which SS hoses can
impart on any items they come in contact with (including metal). So
careful positioning is very important when installing these.
