hey guys, madmk1 is in a wedding in january and i want to change the dopey ugly fuel line to a nice braided jobby.

where do you guys suggest to look, or can someone on here help me.

i need a 180o bend on the carby end, which i have seen, but i may go to 90s then a nice braided hose, would prefer all silver/ chrome fittings or maby black or blue.

cheers gang

You can get the braided fuel lines like the type used on Cooper S carbs from the usual mini suspects of course, but I guess for the pretty ones with the anodised end fittings Earls hoses would be the go.

autobarn sells braided lines. Earl's fittings are the hose fittings your looking for not to shore if autobarn sells them but if you do a google search on earl's fitting's you find a heap of stores that sell them

IMO Made in USA high pressure EFI hose is much more bling than braided fuel lines. It looks the business, works well over what you need it for and is light... rather than fancy, but of course that depends on what look you are wanting...
