If theres a pirtek near you ( http://www.pirtek.co.uk/site/Dynamic...lang=1&page=10 )
they can make up fuel.brake lines.

But i'd suggest getting them all done in braided lines, cost wise there aint much in it i would of though.

Cool, cheers for you help, but where would i get braided ones from????
Not looked into it as i though i could still get ford ones but i suppose if i am going to do it, i should really just get the braided ones.

Try Ford Parts UK for the fuel lines (They have a website - google for them )

The brake lines you make up yourself. The pipe and fittings are cheap enough from any local motor factors, and the flaring tools can be had for about Ł15

if you want originality, you can buy the proper green brake pipe from fords still! (you will need a small bending tool to bend it though as unlike the copper stuff from motorfactors it will kink)
all the fittings are available from any decent motorfactors

As for braided pipe, yes, its better than the rubber hoses ford supply, however it will never be as good as solid piping so only flex up, what should be flexi on the brake lines

as for fuel lines , exactly the same as brake pipe, except it don't matter if its all braided
