...I was making a joke at my own expense (or at B-Lines' if he's fronting for shipping) Shipping is a killer for Oz. Would be over $60 AUD which B-Line generously offered to split, but I don't expect anyone to go out of pocket for their efforts. As for the brake/clutch/fuel hoses we had this weird test method where the hose had to be wound 3 times around a specific diameter shaft and not show any signs of external deformation/stress or cause the hose composite to fray etc. If the non-OEM hose is manufactured by a certified manufacturer and met government regulations under their recognised compliancing then that hose would be deemed appropriate. A lot of burning hoops to jump through for the little guy which sucks as these teflon sleeved stainless braided hoses are superior to OEM.
