Same as Ash, its nice quality stuff too

only downside is when you are mucking about with the freshly cut end and some of the braiding sticks into your finger like a needle

Not specced up anything recently but these people (who were local to me at the time) made me up some braided brakelines for my motorbike for way less than i could buy a kit.

May be worth a call?

£60 for all fittings and 3mtrs of stainless braided hose,mind your finger ends on the braid when you put the ferrules in.

Ive used the diy stuff before its great the trick is to wrap the area you want your cut with a good helping of electrical tape then grip it in a vice (gently ) and use a thin grinder disc with a little tension from the other hand.

Great results every time !

So what ends do you use on the flex hoses? M10 male concave on both ends? What sort of bulkhead fitting do you use with these?
