Is there no Dowty Seals that will fit. A common seal used in the hydraulic industry. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bonded-Seal-Washers-Dowty-Sealing-Washer-Hydraulic-Oil-Petrol-Sealing-Washers/132585478534?hash=item1edeb5d986:m:mPrtxEP2Ee3f-sLFUDzLwJw:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true

I googled mend a hose and there is one not far from me so that looks like the no1 solution.  Already getting great advice on this forum.

Cheers Steve

They are suppliers to industry but they have a trade counter and my local outlet (Castleford) was happy to re-tube mine... did them while I waited... The stuff they use is stainless braided in metric size, not imperial like the original.. The guy mentioned that it was a little tight on the fitting but went on OK and crimped up fine, they couldn't offer their normal no-leaks warranty due to this, but as its not a pressure application there is no problem. The tube is about £85 / metre, total cost was about £35 each. I had mine done separately because one was leaking as soon as I put oil in the tank... a week later I noticed the other was also leaking but less noticeable.. Both have been perfectly dry since fitting and I think they look fantastic in braided stainless. If you get both of yours done at the same time you may get a better price than I did..?? Let us know how you get on.

I probably won’t be getting the pipes done immediately unless they are not serviceable to get the bike running but will post when I get them sorted.
