Looking into replacing the oem hoses with stainless braided items. The prices for Goodridge items is eye watering (£200 for 6 brake hoses!!!).
Anyone have any experience of using HEL as a brand. They are significantly cheaper!
just beware of making up pipes yourself for a road car. VOSA or MOT they're not E marked and hence not road legal!

Depends on how the oem hose seals onto the caliper. If its a concave/convex face at the bottom of the thread hole then this would give a more reliable and durable seal. If the hose seals onto the outer face of the caliper, then yes I would agree that there is no difference between the two other than looks.FWIW i've took 2 cars through IVA which is what all 'new' cars have, both have been on completely braided hoses made by myself, zero test issues. I can't see any advantage except looks over a screw in fixing over a banjo??
