I search for a steel braided brake lines texture

Hmmm... I'm not really sure why you are so worried about making such a texture, as it looks pretty simple ;) - just a bunch of metal surfaces, some of which are coated in some kind of finish, by the looks of it. Almost like car paint. You could get that look using a BRDF shader, if you have one. There is also a kind of speckledy grain to it, which you could just put in your colour, spec and reflection channels, for starters.

The bit below the colour part is just a chromey surface, so just set it up like that. Maybe add a slight bump to it, as it's topography is not perfect.

As for the actual cable part, it's just the same chrome substance as the upper piece, except with a bump map - modelling those pieces would be insane.

I also couldn't find a lot of references, but here are some:

Why don't you just go and check the break lines in your car? :)

Yes this kind of references can I found also. But i need a close up from the structure of the steel cable for the bump texture, thats my problem the rest isn´t difficulty.
And there isn´t such kind of braked lines on my car and bike.

[-wT-]

I doubt that if you can't even find a decent reference images for the texturing in it, it definietly won't show up in your images either ;)

So why bother? :)
