Yes, lots, but make sure you buy from a reputable source, not off ebay.

I make my own braided hoses with (allegedly) ethanol proof hose Chewie , although those MS ones make it hardly worth the effort.

thanks Mark and Andy

I haven't shopped at mini spares for a few years and didn't realise they did ethanol proof hose, so will be purchasing from there

cheers!

You can get the stainless braiding material by taking it off a commonly used flexible sink hose from B&Q. I don't know where you'll find the rubber end cups/caps though.....

End caps & clips.

I get mine from the off cuts of the armouring of some of the electrical cables used in our machines.

does anyone know if there are Ethanol proof hoses available that are also braided to keep the authentic look?

I took the braiding off the original non-ethanol proof hose and put it on the newly purchased ethanol proof hose.
This retained the original look.

Working with the braiding is similar to the Chinese finger puzzle/torture.

I also purchased new rubber ends. I may have used the original clips.
