I replaced my pipes with 6mm braided hoses from Vehicle wiring products. I did the 2 coolant and the fuel line with the same stuff. the other smaller diameter coolant pipe is 4mm and is not available as a braided pipe so just put some spiral wrap to cover it. I have fond some steel braid that you can put over your existing hoses which i mught try one day. Good luck, Jon
