That was a good typo on my part
But worth pointing out the dash number is always sixteenths of an inch

Try
http://www.thinkauto.com/acatalog/intro.html
3 sections on hose and fittings
Please remember just becase it is braided does not mean it is better than non braided. The rubber in both perishes at about the same rate and needs replaced about every 5 years. But the stainless makes it very Bling!

They are in Housnlow / Brentford / Syon Park area. I pass there regular. If you order any stuff I can collect so you can pick up from me if it helps.

Ask what they suggest and they will give pretty fair advice.
If you know how long you need the hoses they can also make up to correct lingth with crimped ends and bends as you need
They reallyare helpful

just a thought,
is there any adaptors to go from nylon to braided etc,
as the the car was running 10mmOD nylon pipe from pump tp filter,
the reason for the change was all the horrid joiners we used to mate it all up,
but if there are adaptors to change to say braided i can then keep cost down,

i got the m12 x1.5's coming stevie for the pump and filter,
been told the actually fuel rail fitting for the fuel line is M12x1
unless some one knows different?
failing that im going to have to cut the o/e fitting off and then tig weld on a -6 bung to the fuel rail.

No idea what the thread is, but M12x1.0 sounds odd.
Cutting/welding would be easy though.

Tony, No luck with the Tap and Die, but if you have the fitting in the lathe, why not screwcut it????
