Where can i get some fuel hoses from the net to connect the fuel lines to the fuel rail in my c20xe corsa.
Will they also be fine to use to attatch to the brake servo so it reaches the side of the inlet manifold?

I got mine from a local motor factor. Cheaper, and you can check the fittings are suitable.

What I did was use the Corsa fuel line nipples. I had to have one lathed down and a new thread tapped onto it so it fitted into the smaller diameter hole on the fuel pressure regulator. I the cut the return side plastic fuel line down so it was a fair bit shorter and then cut some of the rubber fuel line off of the cut off from the plastic fuel line. This then attatched to the nipple on the fuel pressure regulator and also slipped over the plastic fuel line. I sealed them up with jubilee clips. All that was needed to be done on the feed side was fit the Corsa fuel line nipple directly to the fuel rail and shorten the rubber pipe down so it fitted without any kinks, I again used a jubilee clip because thay are easier to do up than the fuel line clips...
For the brake servo vacuum pipe yo uneed to use the rigid plastic pipe not fuel line. Basically you can take off the Corsa pipe at the one way valve using a heat gun to melt the pipe slightly. Then remove the same end from the 20XE vacuum pipe at the one way valve using the same technique, you can then attatch the two pipes together. I found that I needed a bit more pipe so I have two one way valves, which apparently shouldn't be too much of a porblem.
