    lol

    besides the obvious.... do they need to be adr approved or it doesnt matter? understanding that the car will run either way but for road worthy reasons.

    Just buy the kit from Caz, or alternatively get the proper fuel hose that the zed requires, take it to Enzed and get them to do the braiding for you and get the clamps.

    Pretty straightforward.

    As long as the fuel hose meets the standards, i don't think braiding will be an issue.

    the braided line, if used for fuel, has to meet special ISO requirements or it has to be specifically labeled to be used in fuel applications. if these requirements aren't met then your car can be defected.

    other than that, just trial and error will get you the right lengths. there's a tech on www.twinturbo.net about changing your stock fuel lines to SS braided lines.

    I reckon i may have chris lol,
    I have sitting in front of me 10 feet of Aeroquip TFE Racing Fuel Hose (teflon innner and braided) imported from summit racing U.S ,its approved by the NHRA and it has no tags :p
    Im not 2nd guessing you,just curious as to how they tag a length of braided hose,when everyones requirements differ ??

    cheapest option is to go to pirtek and have them cut the required lengths,it will be a hell of alot cheaper than smithy's hoses
