Bike carbs conversion
Help needed
I have decided to go the bike carb route as my webbers seem to have developed legs and ran way from work  . Already made a start on the manifold
flange and purchased cbr 1000 carbs off e bay just a bit stuck with the fluoro lined hose for joining the carbs have seen some on e bay but just
wondering if there is any other stockists to have a look at just for different options

How long does standard silicone hose last before it starts to degrade ( spose thats a bit of a "How long is a bit of string" type question
but anyway........ any answers?)

Kits are in stock 
I have heard reports of standard silicone degrading in under 1000 miles but likewise some claim to have exceeded that considerably. Not worth the risk
tho in my opinion.

I've had standard silicone hose on my bike carbs,
for the last 2 1/2 tears now.With no signs of it starting to
degrade after 3000 miles.

Ive heard others have used standard silicone hose with no ill effects but didnt want to risk all my hard work going up in flames so i think il opt for
the fluoro hose
Fastdan I was going make the flange myself at work from steel and then weld the tubes on but was wondering if you sell the alloy manifold flange and
tubes to fit the 45 mm hose so i could cut and shape it myself and then get it welded locally
What price are we looking for alloy flange, tubes to suit and the 45mm fluoro hose kits
cheers
