Col,

Those oil lines rusting seem to be a common problem on the Storm.

I'll be interested too hear if you come across a direct replacement for them. I presume they will need to be the same size bore as the originals.

I haven't looked lately but they used to do a selection in the hydraulics section of the RS catalogue.
Might be worth a look.
