Reply With QuoteFair enough. It just seems that all your recent posts have been telling people to buy direct from the UK rather than from local importers.
If we all did that, pretty soon we'd have no local suppliers at all.

SupporterYes I agree with what Ron says but not if it means shedding out far more $ than you need to for the same part.
For decades local suppliers had the market pretty much cornered. And there were certainly some hefty prices around compared to what was on offer elsewhere, but not so accessible back then.
The advent of the online stores, ebay and fast delivery services has changed all that forever and the locals have to become cost competitive. And some things are just not available here anyway, or the local product is inferior (rarely but it does happen).
I guess I buy 60% of car parts from overseas these days mainly from the UK and US. Freight is often the biggest cost component now, sometimes costing more than the part itself.

Rovercraft in Melb wont sell them.
No one reputable will fit them as they are illegal unless they have an adr approval...
Do it yourself...

yep been through all this... that why i made up solid 2'' extentions and added the OE brake line to that.
apperently you can make solid lines at home that dont need an adr cert

Pertech in Mascot.
made to any length $99 each.
But you will have to take the old ones in for them to make them up so they get the end fittings right.
I looked a couple of weeks ago and there was no one who made longer hoses that would take the old ones off and fit the new ones.
Unless you want to pay a local mechanic to do the job for you, and all he'll do is take the old ones off and send them to Pertech for the new ones to be made up.
p.s. Pertech use Brakequip hoses that are ADR

correct! anyone can make steel brake lines, as long as they are made to the applicable standards.
so no copper lines, steel only
all fittings have to be iso or equivalent standard
ends can only be double or bubble flared, single flare no good.
