Hi & Thanks.
The blue hoses are polyurethane and much more flexible than the black nylon hoses, I will try and find black polyurethane for the final build after paint.
Ref cycle speed, I haven't lost any time, but this is mainly due to removing the Y piece from within the cab and replacing it with this external T piece. Hope that makes sense!
I also released or should I say, was told, that because I installed a filter between the tank and pump I was restricting the oil flow into the pump, I removed this and have turned the pressure back down to 12bar and everything is now quite quick. I've even restricted the amount of servo throw on the bucket in order to slow the bucket tipping, more like the 1:1 model.
