No Mr. Jay,
It is to be stainless tube of 063 wall thick as I was told.
This is better than the tube on my 84 now.
more than twice as heavy.
Goods Morning,
Fred

What is this? SS braided over rubber hose?
Subject: I find out more on this hose thing.
I asked for more on this hose and got this from Mr.Terry after I ordered
this system from him last night and this is what I got back.

Yo Freddie---
Don't worry about anything.
The guys that were unloading on you don't know what they are talking
about.
I forgot something in my post last evening offering the SS replacement
lines for the early Vanagons.
Prior to me swapping out the rusted out lines on my own vehicle, I did
inquire at a couple of places to find out if in fact there would be any
adverse affects on the cooling system, and / or the aluminum engine
components.
The hose dealer told me that the stainless high pressure hydraulic lines
that he was going to make them out of would have zero residual affect on
the coolant or the aluminum.
Well he just sells the stuff, so I went one step farther, and made a
call to Caterpillar, and got ahold of their engineering / tech
department and asked the same question.
I was told that only a cheap alloy stainless would cause a problem, but
this type of line is not used in high pressure applications, therefore
would not present any adverse affects on the cooling system or the
aluminum engine of our vehicles.
And when I explained the where and how much of it was going to be used
he blatantly stated that this wouldn't be a problem.
Stainless high pressure line will not leach into the coolant.
Rest assured if in fact this set up would create a problem I most
certainly wouldn't have installed it into my own vehicle. And the best
part of this was it was simple and a permanent fix.
You'll be happy with this--if not--I'll send you your money back--- How
about that for a deal???
I'll guarantee this set up to fit and not screw anything up--period,
done, morto, finito,on the rusted out lines at the wheel well on your
84---------
I'll have them to you by Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Later,
_________
