Zitat von MB;97997Over time the original rubber hoses will balloon under pressure application. It only takes a tiny dimensional change in the diameter of the hose to have a noticeable effect on braking feel. They only start to show visible signs when they are really on their way out. Braided hoses stop ballooning for good and make a sensible upgrade to any vehicle in my experience.

Whenever I get a "new" old car I the first activities I start is:
Change oil
Change spark plugs
Install braided stainless steel brake lines - the best upgrade to an existing brake system you can get IMO.
