Same here... I put some Russell braided hoses on my "old beater" Chevy pickup years ago. They have been great and have had no issues. They also have much better feel through the pedal. They have been on there for 70,000 of the 182,000 miles. That chafing crap is a bunch of B.S. Especially if the hose is built and "INSTALLED" correctly. I was an aircraft mechanic for many years (A.P.). Every hose on most of the hydraulic systems I ever worked on were braided in one way or another. I think they will do OK on my car.
I got them from JEGS. They probably have a set that will work on the MB. I need to look into that.
