I've found a few mail order places but my local garages won't make me a new set from my old ones (they want me to give them a suitcase of money to fit them too). Any suggestions?

Works out more expensive than getting 2 pipes made up, that. Think I'd do that if I had to redo the rears but luckily they're still fine. Cheers though!

You could ask mc, as I'm pretty sure he's a mechanic?

try Causewayside Garage, john is always helpful and he has probably replaced all the brake lines on our cars over the last couple of years.

£47 for that kit?!?!?!
Could put that kit together for £30!

Northwind, if you're stuck give me a shout. Should have all the stuff in the shed, but I'd need to check.
