more fuel line questions from me :)
where's the best place to get 10mm braided fuel hose for carbs?
the outlet for my tank is 8mm, but the carbs are 10mm, i'm thinking of getting a 8mm tail for the pump inlet, and 10mm for the outlet.
won't cause any pressure problems will it?

I got mine from VWP - they do 6 and 8 mm for sure, dunno about 10 mm.
fitted the hose to my Ladnrover 9 years ago and still going string.

After having problems with braided fuel pipes as have many others i came up with this good read on the subject , so it looks like Teflon lined is the
way to go .

if the price is the same, i'd be tempted by the teflon hose. any recommendations on where to get some? i haven't managed to find any oin
the UK, except from www.earls.co.uk, and while the dude on thier logo looks like a trustworthy chap, the prices are, erm, scary...
http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/hose/ultraflex.html
about £50 per meter for kevlar hose, and £46 for stainless!

9.5 is close enough! though, £10.12 +vat is not the cheapest i've seen
