Silicone hoses

Post Sat Dec 27, 2014 7:52 pm

Does anyone know where I can buy individual silicone hoses rather than a full set? I just want the 3 that come off the thermostat.

Samco do a "classic" finish too upon request and about an extra 15% on the price.

I like chucking money around but I refuse to pay Samco prices!

So what's wrong with OE rubber? They last around fifteen years or so without any deterioration.

Nothing, they're fine, but visually they let the side down a bit in my meticulous engine bay

Same here, about £100 for two hoses on an m52 and then i'd want the classic finish. I'll be sticking with oem!
