Why you should not use Aluminium brake lines Aluminium Fittings are
bad news on brake lines This image shows the results of electrolytic corrosion of an aluminium fitting when connected to stainless steel hose. Corrosion has resulted in half of the fitting breaking away - if this line had been left on the vehicle the results could have been fatal. Do not use aluminium fittings on your brake lines. Not only is using aluminium brake hoses dangerous practice but you will also notice that they are normally sold with a 'for race use only' label as a possible legal get out clause for the company involved. Never Use Aluminium Fittings On Braking Systems
Don't find out about all these on the highway away from home! In the case of an aluminium brake part this could lead to catastrophic results in the failure of the brake system. Again we reiterate that you should never use aluminium brake line fittings on any vehicle even for race use. The minimal weight saving obtained by using aluminium fittings is insignificant especially when viewed against the real dangers and risks involved when, and we mean when, the fitting corrodes.

A bit of who we are and why |

The
only way to remove this corrosion is by using metals of the same
electromotive force (EMF). HEL Performance only ever use stainless steel or
titanium fittings on stainless steel hose for our motorcycle brake lines
which keeps the EMF constant across the system eliminating electrolytic
corrosion.
