Mate if you read the ad,it says he will pretty much make them up for any model for that price.
When you order you just tell him model ,type, year ect
and what colors you want.Easy as that really.

This is a subject I know something about!

There are 2 types of Stainless Braided hose: Rubber or Teflon tube.

Each has its benefits & drawbacks.
Teflon is the top end. Handles all fluids and temperatures really well but suffers from a high price and does not bend well. If you bend Teflon hose past its specified bend radius it will crack underneath the braiding and leak (Not good for a brake line!)

The rubber alternative is just about as good, and cheaper, but much harder to find.

The Victorian supplier of Aeroquip racing components can be found here: Aeroquip Performance Products

You could make any line yourself: brake, fuel, air, etc...

(Just make sure that the items you buy are DOT approved, then they will comply with ADI standards too, and not void your warranty/insurance/rego)

The link to H.E.L (who uses Aeroqip too) is: H.E.L. UK

The Queensland mob is very good if you want pre-assembled lines!

Drop me a line if you want catalogues or more info!

Ive got HEL I think theyre teflon inners. theyre flexible enough cant see how youd bend them to breaking point.

Volvi,

that's the exact problem! They seem flexible enough, but like copper tube or a drinking straw, once bent too far they "crimp" on the side of the bend and remain permanently deformed (you can't see this because of the braid).
And just like copper tube, they will leak at that point.

Teflon Racing Hose has the following maximum bend radii:
1/4" hose = 1.50" bend radius
1/3" hose = 2.00" bend radius
1/2" hose = 4.00" bend radius
3/4" hose = 5.25" bend radius
