paddocks or craddocks in the UK, 25- 40 GBP +freight, for the set of 3 hoses, looks cheaper than getting them made.

I know your looking for braided, but thought I'd mention I have a set that I bought from slunnie that I didn't require in the end as the ones on the car were fine for the lift fitted. Fairly sure I paid $75 for the set of 5, they were from a rangie, so can't confirm whether they'd fit a disco - let me know if interested - can send pics if required.

I may be interested in those if they don't sell. How much longer are they? What rangie did you buy them for? The rangie classic bits mostly fit series 1 discos.

Paddosck spares - excellent. I bought a set of 4 that were 4" longer than standard for my Disco. Took about a week to arrive. Cost about $120 inc freight for the set. Stainless braided.
I asked Maltech for a quote - excellent service and response but .... cost about $120 EACH corner.

if it bothers you or not, not all stainless lines are ADR approved.

race brakes in melb. yarraville.
they make to your length on the spot, adr approved.
you could possibly send old ones down?? and get same but longer.
or they could copy my 94 200 tdi ones (braided,extended) ;)
