Just thought I'd relay some feedback on Bonaco.
First of all, I always try to use the folks who sponsor this website so whenever I need something I check there first. I decided that I wanted to go with stainless braided brake lines so I clicked on the Bonaco link. Their website wasn't particularly helpful and so I put my purchase off for a while. Last week I decided to give them a call and see if I could order over the phone.
They were very helpful. They had a RV 9 interior brake line kit with everything you need to get rid of the plastic stuff for $170. The 2 exterior lines they weren't quite sure what I needed and neither was I. Together we decided "its probably the same as an RV 7". Well it's not. The -9 has a longer gear. So it turned out that they send me exterior lines that were too short. I realized it right off and contacted another RV 9 guy and he had the correct dimensions from his Bonaco order. I called Bonaco today and as soon as I said my lines are too short the response was "you'll have the correct one in the mail today". Wow! I asked for a RMA for the short lines, and he said "use them for something else". (I am mailing them back).
Anyway, I am very pleased with their product and there is no question that they will take care of you when you order.
The braided lines are a very nice upgrade. All together for interior and exterior I paid $249. I expect a lifetime of service.
Those of you working on the finish kit, save yourself some grief and forget the stock Van's brake lines and get the kit from Bonaco!
