If you buy off ebay or other countries, they're not likely to be ADR'ed.
I've had pretty good experience with Brake lines off Ebay but not the clutch line which BLEW! In the end, I've put in a stock clutch line and it hasn't given me any problems.

I think your better off finding out if "DOT" brake lines like Goodridge are recognised by ADR.

DOT - Department of transport...its US.

DOT - Department of transport...its US.

Sorry your right.... I meant ISO. Would something that is ISO certified make it automatically ADR compliant, given it is an international standard?

[bennjamin]

No , not at all. ISO refers more to the sizes used IE metirc or imperial ( in this instance) - afaik nothing to do if its made to reach our own ADR's.

EG - This MIGHT be covered by ISO 5167 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ISO_5167&action=edit)


Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full

my rubber clutch line was leaking so this morning i had a braided one made up from a brakequip dealer

cost me $80 and looks very neat the have a lil rubber cover just before the metal ends that have the ADR info on them

guy said brake lines would cost same price

[beeza]

What's 'the risk' of running non ADR approved brake lines?

[markoJEK1]

Not been able to race your car at QR and other tracks Id assume and possible safety issue as the line ages, probably the only people who would pick it up due to they're strict regulations / rules.

On the road I doubt cops would have a clue.

[beeza]

I highly doubt QR would check.

[ek4-guy]

In an accident the relative authority in each state would check things like these and if you have non ADR things such as break lines you could be held liable for any damage/injury/death that may have ocurred

Also if you have an accident on the track that causes injury or death your car will be checked

So the reason is obvious it's to protect yourself and other physically and also so you can't be held liable for something that you would not have been held liable for otherwise

Remember if you have a defective car an accident can always be deemed your fault

As a defective vehicle should not be on the road and if you wasn't on the road with your defective vehicle then no accident would have ocurred

Thanks Daz!!
