Hi everyone,
When pumping up my suspension last week the hose from the pump to the schrader valve spilt.
Can anyone advise on what the best hose to replace it with is and where I can get it?
Thanks
Rod

My pump is home made, I use Mini front brake hoses.

Any brake hose would do, maybe take the remains to a brake shop. They can make custom hoses.

The repair kit mentioned by Richard was originally supplied by Fischer-Cripps Laboratories P/L in Sydney.
At one stage Tony Cripps offered to supply any individual parts for the Churchill pump as well as a complete kit. I don't know if the offer is still available.
I would think any hydraulics shop could supply the hose but if you want the hose from the overhaul kit, the best contact details I can find for them is:

It is nylon air brake hose which you can get from Pirtek or Enzed or most large truck repair shops.
