Think Auto mate.

There is 2 types too, there is a hydraulic ptfe lined hose they supply which is MUCH cheaper then your normal -6 aeroquip.

Saved me a fortune when I done a interior fuel install in a mates car.

I get mine from my local hose and hydraulic place. PTFE lined 1/8 inch with bsp fittings crimped on exactly where i want them. All designed for 1500 psi so i am sure that they will be fine for the 75 psi or so max you will see in a car install. Much cheaper than any motorsport supplier!
