Well if you want anything thats braided the OD doesnt really count. But that does sound a thin wall! Is it Nylon your using? With push-fit fittings (as-in the pipe pushes INTO the fitting, not over)? Same piping as what Olly has on the Caddy if you've seen that.

Yeah there push-in not over, think its nylon line, where you at? Got the old man on the case for me might send him down.

Tubes, Fittings, Valves on Bath LANE, not street. To be honest though, just been discussing it with the lads and none of us have ever seen braided nylon pipe. I'll have a browse through afew suppliers books and see what i can find.

I could be wrong and probably am, what i want to do is use braided from the bags to the spare tyre well and bolt them through there with push-in connections then use the airline i have from there to the valves in the boot.

So in other words it's the pipe on the outside/underneath of the car you want braided and then you want a bulkhead type fitting going through the s.wheel well. I'll keep browsing and let you know tonight/tomorrow if i can find any braided stuff but tbh i dont think i will find any. Take it you just want it braided to protect it from the elements...plus it would look pimp lol.

Exactly what i want!

Could you not just slide some nylon hose inside a larger over braided rubber one? The overbraid would just be for show, but would help protect the nylon line.

TBF, as bodge as it sounds, that might be the best bet. Found out you might get PTFE in the way your asking, but it's not really the right stuff.

Just collected my new wheels from Coventry.

18' x 8' et37 fronts and 18' x 9' et42 rears, came with 225/40 falkens but theyre coming off for Ollie and then get some 205/40's.
Gonna split them and polish the lips, and also rub the centers down either to a brushed steel look or colour code them.

I know I said I don't like flats, but they're going to look ace, excellent choice.
