Hi I’ve just got round to doing my purple tag conversation and it’s turning out to be a bit trickier than anticipated. I intended to mould the power steering hoses from the reservoir in the new direction for the new rack but one just decided to crack. Does anybody know where I could buy replacement lines from? I’ve looked online but struggling to find anything. Any help would be must appreciated :bmw:

I was going to try the same but just went to Danthe after realising it's a lot easier said than done.
Dan,s hoses fitted perfect and are top quality. Unless cost is an issue I wouldn't recommend anything else.

Will always say its £200 well spent for something that just works. You can spend days trying to reshape a crappy old pipe and it'll just be a crappy bent pipe at the end of it,

Exactly, I attempted it with my existing lines but it was just such a ball ache I ended up buying some of Dan's.

Exactly this, as soon as I opened the box I thought why didn't I do this straight away. I must admit my first thought was £200 plus, I'll have a go.
Don't bother.
