Default Cobra brake lines?

Hi,
Anyone on here used them?
I've ordered a braided line for the clutch, which was supposed to be HEL http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=310199567013 but the line I've received is boxed and marked as a Cobra line.
Think I could live with it but I've never heard of them.

Makes no odds. So long as all hardware is stainless it is all good

We approached Simon Lane at Hel performance who we decided were the best in the business. They only use grade 303 stainless steel in all their brake fittings. We produce our lines under licence to them using their quality products under our own brand of Cobra Performance.

Cheers,
I take it that the grade 303 stainless steel is a good thing?
The line looks ok, fittings and banjos are s/s, it was just a small wtf moment.

Well 316 is better but I suppose it'll do

I'm surprised they use 303, 304 is far more common, and 316 is what's used for complete submersion or lots of use with acids etc. 303 is far superior to your low carbon steels so fear not.

just got a full set up from these guys and very happy. they sent me two double banjo bolts (1.00 and 1.25 pitch) just on the off chance the model they have on system wasnt correct.

i also ordered the wrong rear length to begin with and they sent out the correct length free of charge regardless of the fact i screwed up so i have a 450mm banjo to banjo rear line in transparent red which i would be happy to send out for postal charge.
