Can anyone tell me where I can get flexy hoses made-up for the front calipers on my trike? I need to extend back to the remote bars. I live in Kent so local would be good! Cheers Splat.

Have a look in the yellow pages for an outfit called Pirtek...they do hoses on site. They mainly do hydraulic stuff, but any kind of hoses should be available. I used to work for a company called Dunlop Hiflex, doing the same stuff (dont know if they have a depot in your area) and I used to carry braided teflon hose on my van for doing bikes.

(and between you and me.......for pound notes most of the guys if you can hail a van down without going through the depot will do you a good deal............not that I ever did that :D )

Thanks Excalibur and Draken 1 for the answers. Once I have mounted the calipers (Ooh err)
I will have the necessary measurements and will drop Draken 1 a line with the details.
Still nearly finished......At least that's what every smart arse who comes to talk to me when I'm working on it says! They must know something I don't.....Splat
