I just did that molded hose as it began to leak from cracks at the first 90 degree bend below the tank. Had I seen this post...
Well I have about 20k until the TB/WP/seals... Will definitely go braided on this hose. With so many contortions on this thin hose it will always degrade earlier relative to its linear brethren.

I'm not so experienced, but I do learn fast - how did you make the union of the line and the banjo bolt ?

I'm not versed in welding, but can have it done.
Well done, and thanks for the time to share your ideas and work.
