herring bone oil pipe

I'm about to start re assembling my bike but I can't find any of the above. It's an open series D. Any suggestions for suitable substitutions and where to get them.

I'm led to believe The VOC Spares Company Limited has started to receive a limited supply.

At the risk of being pedantic , the correct term for this hose is braid impressed. This is due to the manufacturing process in which a steel braided sheath is pulled down on the outside during vulcanisation then removed leaving it's impression on the hose cover.

Don't mention it. I actually Googled it but only came up with steel or internally braided hoses and mostly from China.

To the best of my knowledge , and I did spend 10 years in the industrial hose industry , there is only one manufacturer of braid impressed hose in the world and they are in the UK. As far as I know it was never catalogued as it was an OEM product for the automotive industry. The reason I searched it out years ago was because Triumph (Meriden) used it on 50's & 60's machines and I was restoring a Bonny at the time.

The guy who sells the hose at York (actually Rufforth) and Newark, is Steve from Autohose. I don't think he has a web site but his phones are :

Herringbone hose

http://www.rgmmotors.co.uk/ These also have herringbone on their website and I am reliably informed that the VOC has 5/16" pipe in stock.

Braid impressed aka Herringbone hose

Tnecniv Edipar is quite correct that there seems to be only one manufacturer of this hose, I visited their factory yesterday to collect some of the hose we need for our Vins.
I have no doubt the machines there have been making the hose forever; they look like they should be in Beamish or Iron Bridge museums!!
The process is very laborious and this has been the problem with getting deliveries.
I hope now we have started getting supplies we will continue to receive them.
