Is it like this one Chris? About the size of a packet of chewing gum. If so, PM me with a price please. I know the original would work just as well, but ain't as neat & tidy.
Asked the hydraulics guy whether the rubber hoses were O.K for carrying hot oil. He said they're rated up to 100 degrees & engines typically run between 90 & 105. He's supplied them for all sorts of industrial/agricultural applications with no reported probelms, but said they may go hard with age & constant exposure to heat. Do auto gearboxes run hotter than engines?
Still routing brake pipes around the cab.

Had a quick trawl of the 'net but not found a typical running temp for auto boxes. The original oil pipes were large bore copper, (about 3/8"). Can't find anyone to supply them so will go with the rubber.
Cheers Chris.

Thanks guys.
Having spent out on rubber hoses, I think I'll use them for now, but will keep an eye on them & switch to copper if they give me any problems.
