Braided Brake Hose Kit

The Goodridge Braided Brake Hose Kit, part number 311-698-001, is engineered to enhance the braking performance of the Volkswagen Type 3 models from 1968 to 1973. Constructed with a PTFE inner core, these hoses are enveloped by a robust stainless steel overbraid and finished with a clear outer coating. This design significantly reduces the expansion of the brake lines under pressure, which is a common issue with standard rubber hoses that can lead to a spongy pedal feel and reduced braking efficiency. The Goodridge hoses provide a firmer pedal, leading to greater braking control and potentially reduced stopping distances. Beyond performance, these braided hoses offer superior resistance to abrasion and corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability. They also contribute to an improved under-hood appearance. These kits are TUV Approved, indicating compliance with high European safety standards. The kit is intended for vehicles with disc brakes on the front and an Independent Rear Suspension (IRS). Fitting instructions are typically not included, and professional installation is recommended.
