Looking for a place that custom makes stainless braided #4 brake hose here in SoCal. For my rear disk brakes.

Hey Bruce, ya I know, called them, was a little pricey, will see after I talk to TMR. I buy my other fittings from them also, they cater to the Hotrod/Muscle car people. Thanks Bruce!

FYI....................I also build DOT SS braided and rubber brake hoses at my shop.  I use the same system the Hoseman uses.

TMR was just not the same place, after George left.   Seemed to me like the prices went up and the "custom service" went down.

I hear ya John, but Mike @ TMR ended up taking care of me, got a good price, and waited only about 10 min and they were done. He hooked me up with all the parts I needed. Hose man wanted a little over $100-. TMR used XRP stuff, very nice.

Ted, Thank you for the update, I'll put them back on "my list". 

Actually, Troy was by TMR this past week for some IDA fittings on his race car and all went well.

George was just a "one of a kind" guy.  A counter guy that knew every customer, "what series" they ran in, and always came up with a better way to help you plumb your project.
