I got one from a place called "Purple pig" or something like that, they actually supply Clark rubber so you could ask in one of there stores.

Armadale Auto Parts in Perth sell it by the length you need - if you only need 150mm thats all you pay for :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I tried Clark Rubber, purple pig, Bursons, Autobarn and supercheap.
Purple pig are the only ones that stock the right stuff. They reckon it has to have Nitrile in it to be safe to use for Petrol. The only prob is that I have to put a sharp 90 deg bend in it without it kinking and they dont make bends :roll:
Looks like alluminium bend with a rubber join with be the go.
