Does anyone know where you can get steel braided replacement fuel line.
with a 7 mm ID Please.

i currently have stripped all the fuel lines out of my car and was looking at replacing with goodridge but i dont think they have that size pipe. I have been talking to Sam at Cam autosport and he has sent my one of their catologues to look through.I'm hoping to get this sorted out this week so will keep you informed, mines a 97 4.2 by the way.

Why braided, surely if braided you will not be able to see when it starts to perish.

A friend had it on a Lotus, first thing we knew of the fuel line being perished was the smell of fuel and on inspection the fine spay coming through the braiding.

The spec you want is J30 R9. This is the latest hose to withstand modern fuel blends with ethanol. Gates barricade is apparently as good as it gets. As already said, dont go for braided as you cant see when it begins to crack fail.

Is the internal diameter 8mm?

Goodridge make a hose (200 series) with 6.25mm id and the next size up is 8.73 id. I've ordered samples of these to see which one if any will fit, these are for the return lines, carbon canister and the fuel cooler.
I'm looking at replacing the supply line with their 910 hose which is PTFE lined, the only problem at the moment is finding a fitting to connect to the fuel rail, does anyone know what threads this fitting is?

I've measured the spouts and copper pipe and they measure 8mm.

FYI Gates Barricade is no longer available!

With both sets of hoses I have had done (Pirtek and Preston Hydraulics) they have re used at least some of the old fittings.
