Having new hoses made used to be about 1/3 the price of buying them
from your local MG dealer (which shows you how long it's been since
I've had to do this). I don't know if places like Moss can get them
cheaper. However, all the factory hoses I've seen have crimped-on
fittings and those cannot be reused. Go to a place that specializes
in hydraulic supplies. As you might suspect, the hoses they make
up are not a cosmetic substitute.
