Welcome Russell

Brad,

Is that your old master cylinder?  I'm wondering about those hoses. They 
appear to have a braided
covering over them.  Was this factory? Was it there for abrasion resistance? 
 I'm wondering if many newer cars have this stuff.  After having  a cut 
heater hose cost me an engine, I'm open for all improvements.
