Re: [DML] Braided fuel lines... *UPDATE*

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

We were at our sponsors' last week getting Draven ready for Robot Wars and I sidetracked and talked cars for a few minutes. They have a number of
customers who they supply hosing to and have braided stainless fitting on the shelf. All I have to do is tell them how many fittings I want, what
the inside diameter of the banjos is, and how many metres of hosing I want. The fittings are actually DIY! They sell mainly to motorbike racing
teams apparently. They do Stainless fittings to order, but they are very expensive. Chrome plated ones are half the price and standard nickel plated
ones are even cheaper. I will get around to ordering a load when I'm less busy!

The company is www.a1hydraulics.co.uk though I realise this is of limited use outside of the UK

PS I liked Don's hoses a lot, but balked at the price.
