(9/10 remaining)

[Mike M]

I need a right front hose, I already bought the kit from you but the right front one has a kink in it. Do you have one I could buy?

Actually I do.
Shoot me $27 to toddandchris2@cox.net (not the one on the web page)

[Mike M]

Paypal sent, Thanks

[Todd TCE]

Hose kits are packaged up and ready guys.

I ran these because a few of you wanted them. I'm hoping I didn't pull the trigger too prematurely..still have 7-8 of them here. Figured we had more demand than that.

[Speed]

Minus one more...Paypal sent. Thanks.

If you can't afford the TCE Big Brake upgrade then this is the next best thing for brake "feel". After installation and properly bled it will feel like there is a brick under your brake pedal.

[Todd TCE]

Yup, still have some!

[05GM123]

Payment sent, looking forward to these and getting the MM fixed finally!

[martyo]

Yup, still have some!

Folks need to jump on these!

[05GM123]

How many left, just curious

[Todd TCE]

Not sure...not home!

ALL open orders have shipped.

There are TWO kits left. While I will be out again this week my wife will handle labels for them if they sell and do so from home.

I'll do my best to remind others if the count changes.

[Todd TCE]

ONE Hose kit left.

[Todd TCE]

Sold out. Last set to Greg.

[Todd TCE]

All the hose kits produced this run have been sold. The final kit will ship tomorrow to 'greg' and we have zero left in stock.

A couple of folks have called or emailed about previous orders. If you ordered a kit within the past week it has shipped. Check your email: all kit ship include the tracking info from USPS.

I'll be back in the shop next Tuesday. For anyone looking for further info on complete brake kits we can talk then.

The next run of hoses?? I'm not really sure.

[larryo340]

Damn, I went online earlier today to order a set to find they were sold out :bigcry: :mad2: :shake:

Can I be on "standbuy" ( pun intended ) if anyone has a change of heart? ;)

[Dobs]

Todd, if you get another batch in, spare one for me plz.

Thanks

[Todd TCE]

No promises but the purchasing 'speed' has certainly dropped from years ago. It took a couple of weeks to move those ten kits whereas before that could have been 20 kits. I'll give ample notice of them coming available again for anyone wanting to pre-order and perhaps do a few more to be certain. I'm sure you'll make it.

[1Marauder]

Todd, I am in for a kit too, so by my count that is THREE. Let me know when to pay. I
BTW I just got the first kit I bought months ago installed in the SB, and they are great.

Need one more set.

[Ari]

I need a set of the hoses as well, should be the same on my 03 crown vic as the are on the marauders I'm assuming.

[Todd TCE]

I'll look at what I have and don't have and see about bumping up some production time. As soon as I know a date I'll post it.

[larryo340]

Great :)......thanks

[Ari]

Assuming that these will fit a 2003 crown victoria (basically the same car, should be same brake lines, right?) I have cash in hand for the lines. Looks like you have a few people that want these things, just saying' ;-)

[Todd TCE]

Should have more hose kits available by the end of the week.

Check the web page please.

[Jeffonebuck]

Put me down for a set Todd

Been having some issues when breaking lately so.... Kit ordered!

Thank you!

[HotRaud90]

Welp, just decided to snag a kit. Based on Martyo's and everyone else's resounding recommendations as well as research on the benefits of the upgrade, this can now be considered my first bolt-on mod purchase! Lookin forward to gettin it all installed! :up:

East to install.
Just make sure the lines don't rub the tires when the car is on the ground.
I just gravity bled after the install.
Make sure the brake fluid reservoir never goes dry.

[Todd TCE]

Minus 1 kit right now. Should have some more made up shortly.

[Spectragod]

Do it!!! Cave to peer pressure!!

Should I get these for my car?

[Todd TCE]

That's certainly up to you. Many, many have and not been disappointed. And while it was recently suggested that they are "over priced" I'd challenge anyone to really get the same exacting fit and finish and complete parts- to the door, for less. While they are not cheap, they are not exactly costly considering what you get.

Each kit includes:
*Front and Rear (2ea) jacketed stainless steel hoses with dedicated, bent tube banjo end and chassis fittings. No adapters required for the hardline, no banjo adapters of any sort.
*Dedicated factory replicated chassis brackets for exacting placement and fit specific to each end of the car.
*New banjo bolts, crush washers and chassis bracket clips.

Really?

I recently received my kit and the first thing i said when opening it is "wow what a great kit for the price!"

By the way Thanks Todd.

They are fairy priced. Period.

Besides a 4.10 gear, these are our number one recommended on a Marauder.

Couple that with the fact that the cars we love are now ten or more years old and the rubber hoses are tired, and you come to the conclusion that these are a MUST HAVE.

[fastblackmerc]

These brake lines are the best!

I'd be real leery about installing "parts" that haven't had any R&D done. Brakes are the one thing not to cheap out on.

[Todd TCE]

Thanks guys. I'm not looking to pick a fight over it, just feeling the need to defend the price and why it is what it is. Moving on.

[MarauderPWR]

Is there a tentative date when they will be available again?

[Todd TCE]

Possibly some again the end of next week.

[MarauderPWR]

Went ahead and ordered the kit just in case I forget about it.

Thanks

[1Marauder]

These kits are beautifully constructed and an exact fit. Nothing more needs to be said!

[Todd TCE]

SEVEN kits on the shelf.

[massacre]

Todd,

If I need some new copper crush washers for your SS brake lines, where would I purchase them?

-Thanks!

[Todd TCE]

Todd,

Any industrial hardware store, even ACE, or most auto parts stores sell crush washers. They are M10 or 3/8. For the most part same fit.

[Steve_NC]

I put my kit in this weekend and all is working well and they look great! Fixed the squishy braking and pull to the right that I was experiencing.

The only thing I have for feedback is that the indexing tab on the front brackets was too large for the stock location and the angle was off a bit. I had to file the tab and bend it out to fit the screw into the frame. No big deal. Took 5 min to fix. Just a heads up.

I also wanted to add my 2 cents about the price for these lines. The stock replacement parts from a FLAPS were about 120 bucks for a full set. I think the price for the SS kit is just fine! Very happy with the results and I recommend the upgrade.

I have pictures before / after if anyone is interested I can post them. If some have not already been posted elsewhere.

[MarauderPWR]

Got my kit and it looks awesome. I just need my rotors/pads and will get everything installed.

Thanks

I'll compare it again to the stock ones and see about making the tab a bit narrower on future runs. Thanks for the info.

[MarauderPWR]

Has anyone had problems with the banjo bolts threading into caliper? The bolts I have are larger than oem and I am worried I will strip threads if I force them in???

I didn't with mine. Call Todd.

If there are any issues with threads lets verify it first!

The hose ends are metric. The banjos/calipers are not.

The banjo bolts should be a 3/8-24 hex head.

If (obviously by mistake) they were packaged with metric bolts you will see a hash mark in the hex of the head on each corner. The far LEFT here is not metric, the others are.

[MarauderPWR]

Just got off the phone with them and there was a mix up with the banjo bolts so they are sending new ones. Great service thanks!

[Todd TCE]

Sorry...! It's happened before, doesn't make it right. The confusion comes from the other end being metric so the grab for bolts is also.

[MarauderPWR]

No worries your making it right so its all good. I just sent out my LCM so car is down for a couple days.

[Hadamustang1]

I had the same issue.. The installer said he used the old bolts. Seems ok.. I bought the hoses last year.

[Todd TCE]

True, a banjo bolt's a banjo bolt. The crush washers are the key part. No leaks; no problem.

[massacre]

Todd, quick question if I may:
The non-caliper sides of these hoses, what type of flare do they take? Is it inverted flare, or metric bubble flare?
Thanks.

[Serge]

I received my kit recently. The only thing I can nit pick at are the brackets for rear hoses. They don't have tabs like the front ones that go into the frame to hold them in place so it's a bit difficult to tighten the bolt and hold the bracket so it doesn't spin with the bolt as you are tightening it.

Also as someone mentioned above the tabs for the front brackets are indeed a tad too big but that's easy enough to take care of with a grinder.

[Todd TCE]

Been seemingly forever but I'm going to say there was no locating tab on the rear part I had here. Or it would be on it now. Interesting. Show me a pic. The front I can narrow on future runs.

[Serge]

Here are a couple.

[Todd TCE]

Thanks. Can't say to what I had here years ago or not. From what you show I probably did. The issue would be the bend to a single plane of material that is thinner than what is shown there. I'll take a look, maybe get one and see if I can alter it for the next batch..some day!
