So if you have braided lines make sure you check them carefully. I'm sure Ken can add more information about the vendor, there is another member on here (Pat was his name) that bought through the same group buy, so if any of you know who it is you should give a heads up to him.

When Matt called me this morning to tell me about what happened, needless to say I was glad he and the other driver sustained no injury - that's what not tailgating and having presence of mind will do for you.

Matt's ss braided line came from our spring brake group buy of 2 years ago - and besides Matt, I and another member (Pat) bought a set.

Long story short - my front is frayed too - in the same place Matt's gave out. So far that's a 66% failure rate, which indicates to me a significant problem with these lines.

The manufacturer is Techna-fit which is by all accounts a reputable manufacturer - but as Matt says if you have braided lines of any brand, you might want to take a moment and give them a thorough inspection.

Techna-fit has a lifetime warranty on their kits, so we'll see tonight when I call them if it's worth anything.

My apologies but for the life of me I can't think of who Pat is and I didn't make note of the FC member ID - so anyone who knows Pat please let them know about this thread.
