Nice one stu, rep for that, i didnt come across that one!
Just spoke to my dad, he works in hydraulics n turns out he knows more about this than i thought! Im hopefully getting a new feed the morn and my dad is making me up a braided one up when he gets home from holiday next week, so CMR we could make you one if you were interested in buying one!?

I suppose its a thought, i thought about getting a few made up and seeing if anyone was interested but id need alot of the feed/return plate things? So i might not bother.

Another question, is it worth braiding the return? It burst with the previous owner so he replaced it with a reinforced pipe so i woulda thought it should be ok eh?

trust me and go to your nearest hydraulic company. they will make you anything there and then, that will surpass all your requirements for less then half the price of any trader.

aswell as a custom braided feed line, i had splitters put onto my custom braided feed so 2 other feeds could come off it for oil press and temps senders. both with 50cm braided hoses so i could relcate them to somewhere like my front bumper etc.

cost near to nothing and will handle 300psi so surplus to any requirements.

i would use euro hydraulics in trafford, manchester, they are very good at what they do. If you have no one near you, mail them and give them your requirements :)
