Never sure whether this is okay here or would be better in the classifieds, but giving this a whirl, hope it's okay.

I'm updating the fork on my old Cotic X to be able to use it as a commuter - the carbon fork got damaged, so I've scrapped it and bought a cromo fork of the right dimensions instead. Said cromo fork has M5 mounting points all over it for racks, cages etc, but doesn't actually have a brake hose guide. There's a bolt hole where I think one should go, but no actual guide included. 

Simplest and neatest looking solution I can see online is something like the pic below, however I'm damned if I can find them in the UK. The two options I seem to have are pay 3x the item cost to have a pair shipped from framebuildersupply.com in the States, or chance my arm with AliExpress. Even the normally excellent with random small parts SJS Cycles don't seem to have an equivalent.

So, before I go international shopping, anyone got something like this lurking around in their parts box that they'd be willing to pass on?

I might have a couple. I'll have a dig around.

They came with a Ragley so I guess Evans Cycles might be a worthwhile place to look now?

Ah, thanks for that Scotroutes. Searching for the Ragley guides, it looks like Privateer stock something similar as well so that's another possible avenue.

Can you not use the "Brake Hose Routing P-Clips - Pack of 5 : £5" on the Cotic spares page?

COTIC : order spares

Another couple of good options, might be useful - don't need a 5- or 10-pack though!

Airdrop may have something you can use at a price that won't make you cry.
