After trying to get after market febi radiator hoses and finding out they are NLA and a dealer only bit then Pricing up OEM hoses to find they are now over £200 to do an M20 it looks like I may as well go silicon for that kind of outlay.

What have people used?
I did look at the Ireland engineering kit but it seems its just a resell of the chinese ebay kit?

Actually found the stuff from 'winner racing' on eBay to be decent quality. Took a risk on some after doing some research and finding that across several forums, people have been running these with no probs. Don't know if they do an M20 set though. Alternatively try the wire coil reinforced hoses from ASH, they bend into just about any shape and are bloody difficult to kink.

The link above is the wiener racing kit for an M20, sounds like they may be the ticket then.
