yes braided are fine, make sure you use injection specific if you are running injection. most auto/motorsport suppliers can get the hose for you. It is usually supplied in metres so obviously measure how much you need and round up to the nearest metre :thumb:

you can always get stainless steel overbraid to cover the copper lines,

If you want to go for braided lines you need to make sure you get PTFE lined stuff

If you don't get the lined hose then the petrol vapours will get you!
