The hose I used to replace a completely knackered old steel armoured piece has an internal diameter of 12mm

However, while poking around under my car I've just found the hose is nearly folded closed where is arches to clear the movement of the rear lower wishbone.
The old armoured stuff was formed to arch over the wishbone which the new hose won't do. So you'll need something to make the new hose do that if you don't already have something.

I'm looking for a solution now so if anyone has any information or ideas I'd appreciate it.

the bit over the wishbone looks like a plumbers preforemed copper or brass bend to me.

Good call SSPPGG thumbup

And odd you should say that because I've just discovered that bit of hose fits very nicely INSIDE a piece of 22mm copper pipe.

I'm going to gat a mate to bend a bit and see if it works.

What did you do about the Eddie Waring "up and over" bit ETY?

Does yours have the metal piece in to lift the pipework over the wishbone?
