By way of an update, I checked with Honda how much these would be.
When the bloke came back with the price, I said that I knew I wasn't going to like it, but I didn't expect I wouldn't like it that much! £186 + VAT :shock: (Also not available from Belgium btw, would be import from Japan)

So I started looking into Plan A (I never seriously expected a new one from Honda to be a go-er, but you don't ask, you don't get) and went to a local hydraulic hose specialist.
He gave me a length of hydraulic hose that will get me out of trouble, but he (REALLY) wasn't interested in making up a replacement set in stainless, unfortunately.

I've had a look on line to see what else is sort of out this way and there's a custom pipe bender manufacturer in Dagenham that I might give a call.
