Yeah, I also am happy that someone is willing to stock replacement parts for a relatively low-production car that hasn't been built in 15 years, and in this case equipped with a brake system that hasn't come out of a factory in over 20 years. (It's not like old U.S. domestic iron that, while also being out of production a long time, saw millions of vehicles being built with common parts over decades of time. Much bigger and less specialized market than our old C900s.)
I just have a bad feeling about these hoses and am going to request an RMA on them. Due to previous experiences and what I have read from engineers who have had to babysit Chinese manufacturing I just don't feel comfortable with the real possibility of betting my life on Chinese-style 'kwality' control. (We're talking about Chinese manufacturers routinely cheating on specs and materials, faking quality and performance reports, having tools for checking tolerances unavailable or locked up and unused, utilizing friend-of-a-friend-of-a-relative supply chains with no material checks, no accountability at all, the list just goes on.)
