For some reason I'm having trouble getting hold of some of these....any tips or advice on brand names or what to look out for? And where!

Cheers

    cables or hoses?

    what do you want them for?

    the only time i have thought about getting braided is for motorbikes where hte brake pressure is alot higher and the oil can heat alot more from pad friction.
