Hose quality is excellent, but size is not as described
The hoses are of excellent quality, but not what the catalog describes. They are 18" long (should be 15"), have square "block" caliper ends (should be "round"), have a hole for 7/16" (.437) caliper bolt (should be 10mm (.394)). Note: There is a different part number for the 7/16" x 18" long hose. I spoke with a Speedway rep, he informed me that since inventory was 600 sets, a decision was made the inventory would have to be sold down before the correct 10mm x 15" hoses would be available. In some instances the 18" long hoses would be an acceptable interchange (they are longer, not shorter, and the caliper bolt hole is slightly larger, not smaller). In my situation, however, the longer length would pose a problem when turning, and I also wanted the cosmetic appearance of the "round" end. Refer to the description of part numbers 617-8568 and 617-8569 for the differences as described. Speedway very generously offered a free upgrade to braided stainless hoses, but, again, I wanted the "old-school" rubber hose appearance.
