Earl's Speed Seal tm Reusable Hose Ends
To reduce brake line swell under extreme pressure and consequent loss of pedal travel and firmness, stainless braid protected hose of extruded Teflon (Speed-Flex) is used throughout the racing industry as flexible brake and clutch hoses. Earl's proven record of reliability and unmatched range of configurations, has made Speed-Seal reusable hose ends the choice of professional race teams worldwide.
As is the case with other Earl's products, there is a large number of Speed-Seal hardware available to solve your plumbing needs, along with fitting angles of straight, 45°, 90°, 120° and 180 degrees. It is recommended that when building a braking system, the use of fittings and components only made of steel, will best handle the severe, long term vibrations associated with those systems. We also do not recommend the use of tube type fittings, out at the calipers.
Since brake system hose ends are often subject to fatigue from extreme vibration, Earl's adjustable Speed-Seal -3 forged hose ends feature an 80% greater wall thickness than those of the competition.
For those British built vehicles, we can also supply brake and clutch fittings in BSP, straight, 45 and 90 degree applications.

A
Stat-O-Seal, consists of a synthetic rubber "O" ring
mechanically locked to the I.D. of an aluminum washer. When tightened, the
"O" ring is compressed, forcing the sealing surfaces around the bolt
shank. This will form a positive seal over a temperature range of -85o
to +450o F
