        Bill, no problem at all in  doing this.  The ONLY reason I do not
do it "NORMALY" is that I do not have  a supply of the banjo fittings so each
and every hose would have to be on an  exchange basis, not too convenient
for most folks who only need to have the  metal lines replaced.  If somehow
those banjo fittings could be found from  some supplier then I would just
make the whole hose replacement available  probably at the same price as the
hose I sell now.  The extra length of  hose would not add much to the cost,
it's the ends and the crimping that  costs.  Thanks for the plug !



>>>>>I have been meaning to ask Frank this but, if  you need to replace the
metal
lines
from the rack to the rear why  couldn't you eliminate the hose with the
banjo
end on
it. Make the hose  go from the rack straight to the banjo fitting on the
pump?  It  would
eliminate the one connection on the high pressure side. I am going to  see
if
this is possible for my Zetec install since the routing changes  slightly in
the engine
compartment anyways.
I also want to suggest to  the original poster that Franks products are top
notch and
would point  anyone in his direction. Give him a shout and I am positive he
will  help
you out.<<<<<<
