| Summary of Issue | BRAKE-hose: Many modern hoses are of one solid color all the way through. When any damage occurs there is no clear criterion to decide whether or not an out-of-service judgement is warranted, other than an audible air leak." |
| Justification or Need | There has always been tubing of a single, solid color. OOS item 1.f. Brake tubing, not item 1.e. Brake Hose, covers it. |
| Request for Action | What do you do with a hose that does not have the 2nd colour? |
