I told him that these lines are NOT suitable for motorsport use (and frankly I am not sure I would have them on my road car either).
As it happens, a line arrived in the mail today from one of our customers.
Fitted to the front of a race car - failed whilst at Eastern Creek.

The last pics shows clearly what happens to these.
The braided line is "held" into the fitting by a rubber sleeve.
The rubber sleeve fails and the braided line comes away from the fitting - generally when you are on the brakes hard!
We have several examples of this failure.
The Goodridge lines are made differently with a metal ferrule clamped directly onto the braided line.
The line at the bottom is the Goodridge one with the anti-whip collars.
