Steel braided radiator hoses/coolant hoses?
Ive seen a few cars with these, some with the Upper radiator hose in braided steel/screw on fittings, others with all the coolant hoses replaced by these. Just wondered if any of you have these, or any experience with them, where you got them, and how hard were they to install? Thanks.

Pretty much all the stainless braid kits I've seen that go over stock radiator hoses look like crap. They don't do anything functionally either - they're all show, and they're not even very "showy" if they look like crap 
.
Doing REAL stainless braided lines with real AN fittings is a MAJOR and expensive undertaking.

Made of copper, very expensive, generic length - no custom kit for FD, end fittings are rubber (weakest link).
