I got a full set from Paddock Spares, four inch longer for about $110 delivered to TAS. Might be a tad more now with the dollar not so good.

I had a quote two weeks ago from Paddocks for their 4in extend braided hoses. The 3 hose version for non ABS Discovery.

25 pounds for the hoses
35 pounds for delivery

About AU$133 in todays money. I was quoted about AU$100 per hose locally made.

I pay around 120 beer tickets to get Enzed to make me ADR approved, braided lines 6" longer than standard, that's for 4, for the front, you have2 front and 1 rear to replace on the disco, so aim for close to that

That is a good price for aussie made. Though my 92 disco has 4 front lines and 1 rear.
