Is this the bit from the caliper to the copper pipe??, if so have a couple spare. I have just upgraded to braided lines so you are welcome to my old ones if you want. They are absolutely fine but as its the braking system you might want brand new ones!!!
cheers

Of course you could just get braided hoses anyway - Goodrich Hoses list TVR Griffth as one of their supported models. (The Griff and Chim are the same under their skirts.)

Cheers Rich, if i struggle to get something quickly i'll take you up on the offer, just to get it passed the mot retest. I am of a like mind that why its brakes, it should really be done with new stuff. I am going to look at the braided stuff and change the pads at the same time.
