Mark,
  What are you using for sealing washers on both sides of the banjo fitting ??..............All washers I have seen on my engines
are copper............Or are the lines leaking at the banjos ??............If so are the lines stock plastic ??...........There is no high
pressure on these lines so I would think a high quality oil resistant hose with good (small) clamps would seal properly....IMHO

OK guys,

Now that I have my OMP installed and working, the lines have begun leaking at the banjo fittings.  Any suggestions on replacements or upgrades.  Mazdatrix has the front and rear lines but they're $40/ea. and I'm not sure they would fit my 3-rotor.  I'm thinking of making some up out of SS.  

While searching the internet, I found some real neat fittings with SS braided line for dirt bicycles from goodridge, http://www.gravity-slaves.co.uk/?a=240

The banjo bolt is 8 mm.

Any ideas?

Mark
