I've just change my pipes over to the bio-fuel items from that firm, I've had a problem with the pipes in the boot becoming porous and fuel vapour filling the boot and getting into the cabin. The problem with the R6 piping previously fitted was the spec dictates it to have permissible a leak of vapour through the side wall (a search online will reveal how much), the R9 has a fraction of R6. I did the job yesterday and shut the boot over night and no smell of fuel this morning when opened unlike the waft of fuel I'm used to.
I visited the firm in Essex although i had to deal with them at the door due to Covid restrictions I could see they stocked a large inventory of pipes, fittings etc. including Goodridge hoses. The staff were very helpful sorting out my strange imperial pipes and fittings.
