Just a bit of info chaps. Over the years I have purchased the above type of fuel line from many suppliers, some good & some not so good.
The original pipe was reasonably flexible and many other so rigid that even getting them on the fuel taps has required dunking in hot water to get them to fit.
I recently came upon a company in Wallington, Surrey called Ricambio Internation Ltd, they sell Cavis 7x12 at £7.32 per metre, ex VAT.
Very fast service and the nearest I have found to the original pipe.
 
I bought a couple of meters from them a few weeks back to refurbish my 3C resto project.
We'll see what happens when fuel gets at them.

Purchased some from Mdina Italia store recently to replace on 79 Jota. It was impossible to fit until heated, but the
original pipe was still soft and flexible . They don't make like the old stuff anymore .
 
Ducatipaddy.com is now stocking Cavis , I found it still goes hard though in the past ,(not from Paddy),,use a scooter supplier now which so far stays flexible,I also use neoprene black line from Bikers Toolbox on the 120 which is excelllent...
 
Grüezi Peter,
Have you had the opportunity to remove and refit the fuel line from the fuel taps?
Does it slip on and off without struggle and sit firm once reseated?

Hi Gerald,
Yes, I removed and refitted them a few times, they still slip on and off without problems. They do not get hard as all the other fuel lines I used in the past, so I'm really happy with this product.
We have also fitted them on a 750 SF1 of a friend of mine. This guy forgot to close the fuel taps. Consequently, the fuel lines were full of fuel for a few weeks and also these are still soft.

I bought a whole roll of this from Ricambio International (a Fiat shop not far from me) a few years ago, the fuel hose is fine but it turns blue after not very long at all, I did give a warning about this at the time I noticed it, maybe the suplier has changed, for your dakes i hope so.

card in camera is up the swaney, cant post the pictures
