The brakes on the Hurricane arenot badif they areproperly maintained. Replace the brake fluid and bleed the system if that hasn’t been done during last years. The pads could also have been glazed and should be replaced or sanded and braked in properly. The brakes on my Hurricane where scaring, but fixed as mentioned above they became quite OK.

try also braided lines. not cheap but far better than rubber as they dont expand under pressure. ( well, as much as rubber)

Speaking of braided lines. If you are seriously bored there is a way you can make rubber ones a little better.

I have seen someone on a website use a million & one zip ties along the length of the hose. It looked stupid, but the hose didn't expand as much.
