Any recommendations for what kind of hose to buy/where from? Would rather take some tested proved and recommended over my guessing
Not sure if any of the below from eBay will do the job:

All I know is it needs to be 10mm Internal Diameter, I don't fancy using the hose that came with the Mishi expansion tank because I can't seem to find out what it's made of, I've tried googling it but thats returned nothing.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations

I use transparent fuel pipe. Never had an issue and because it’s transparent it puts your mind at ease they the oil is actually getting to the pump.

Thanks both, appreciate it
qwakers, your link looks remarkably similar to what Mishimoto include with their coolant tank - might be worth giving it a bash afterall

Re: 2T Sohn/COF oil hose
It will take on the colour of the oil that runs through it, over time.
This is normal though it can give you a false impression that the line is full, when it isn't.
It also goes quite floppy when hot, e.g. running engine bay temperatures, again not a problem as long as it's run so it can't sag and droop onto a drive belt or pulley.
This softening also mean that it should be warmed when you're making the connections, as cold-made connections would leak when they become warm.
Dipping the end in a mug of hot water for a minute works for me.

Re: 2T Sohn/COF oil hose
thanks for the heads up and tip regarding fitting, i'll make sure I warm both ends before I fit it!
I'm going to position it away from the belts because that's already a fear I have, but have ordered a velco heat wrap thing to go over it to avoid it getting too hot
