Frans,
FWIW, I happily found that making up SS hoses was not a big deal,
though I was thoroughly intimidated when I first looked into them.
I've transitioned from R9 fuel injection hose to SS CPE hose at the
firewall w/ those thruwall fittings. I used items from the XRP
catalogue which also includes at the very end a series of tutorials
about how to install the hose fittings.

These fittings seem to be comparable to those in the Earl's catalogue
which, I believe, is sourced in the UK. Taping the ends of the SS
braid before using a Dremel cut off wheel worked well for me, and I
found silicone spray lubricant to be essential. I'm not familar w/
size and compatibility issues relating to the Rotax.
I'm sure that a guy with your talents would not break a sweat making
up your own hoses,
Fred
