have used a short off cut (20mm) of camelback hose in the past when i ran out, worked well and was easier to install.

๐Ÿ˜• looked crap though

im thinking of just helitaping the brake hose upto the point of entry - i know it will move slightly when suspension/bars move but it will be pretty minimal, and just make it really thick all the way around ( 3 layers or so) to try and spot things spilling into it...

this phrase comes to mind

'rodney, what a 42 carrot plonker you really are!'
