Dear Listers,
I'm replacing nylon lines with stainless braid/teflon tube.
Is there any braking effectiveness difference between the -3 size and the -4 size lines?
Is it true that the -3 lines cost more to fabricate because they are smaller therefore harder to fabricate?
What does the list suggest to order ... the -3 or the -4 lines and why is one better than the other?
Where is the best place, for price and service, to have the lines fabricated?
Many thanks for the vast experience of this list ..
Jerry

I had my Earl's lines fabricated at a speed shop and I prefer the smaller size line. There is very little flow in braking systems and the smaller size will give a firmer feel because of the reduction in internal surface area.

on pressure side, smaller is better - less fluid to move & smaller size transfers the pressure more efficently
on supply side, larger is better - less resistance
in motorcycle roadracing, we usually use -2 lines for brakes
not sure if you can get them custom-made, though
if i was going to get s/s braided brake lines, I'd first look at a motorcycle supplier like Street & Competition
http://www.streetandcomp.com/
or here

only issue might be if they can't do the 37 degree fitting we need
