J844 nylon airbrake hose.
This is used to supply the air for both the braking systems on semi trailers and also their airbag suspension systems.
I reckon that if they can bounce around 20 ton monsters, then a mini will be fine.
Only question I dont know is, how does the nylon go with hydro fluid?

Nylon 11 was/is fine with regular brake fluid (which is glycol) on Formula Vee race cars as I said.
Some people here run the original hydro fluid (water + alcohol)- others run glycol +water 50/50.
Nylon is pretty tuff stuff, I doubt Minispares would be selling it for hydro use if there was a problem..

Nylon air brake hose is not good enough by a long shot. Air brakes and air springs only run around 80 > 110 psi of air.

The proper nylon hose to suit hydro is going to be a lot different than air hose.

I will take a pic of the hydro frame that Les (Alpine Moke) modified for a van, on the weekend.

Here's a few pics-

The next couple we are doing will use 50mm x 50 x 3mm `C' channel as we have stock.
