Re: Re:Hard Brake Pedal

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

One of the things I've noticed recently is the fact that new brake hoses
have the day of manufacture on them, '80s parts have the month and year,
our original Type 3 stuff has just the year, and the '50s Beetles had just
the century marked.  I'm joking about the last one. ;-)

But it does make you think, whatever happened to quality?  Priced out of
existence I guess.

I recently had brake hoses crack wide open after just 2 years, and no
neglect involved.  Not even modern VW quality there.  Make sure what you
are about to fit are better than the old ones already there.  There's not
much difference in price between rubbish and quality, oddly enough.
