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 E-mail message From Jay�L�Snyder. 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. E-mail message 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.
