I bought replacement line from NAPA for about $0.40/foot. Remove the ends from 
the old and heat the new ends in boiling water and they slip on with a bit of 
force, when cooled they hold tight to the barbed ends. May not be original or 
as racey looking as stainless but a lot cheaper and you can set the length 
yourself. Don't know the resin source but doubt it is English.

Greetings list. There has been quite a bit of discussion recently about TR6
engine to gauge oil pressure lines. Remember the newest of these cars is 36
years old. Realizing the replacement line is made from finest British
plastic,
it seemed logical to make this line from stainless steel braid hose. So, we
did.
