Silcone Hose

[jac114]

I have sent 2 emails to manufactures of silicone hose/pipe one website actuallly advertise that they do automotive tubing.. i have asked for some more details from them with any luck one will come back o.k both are in the u.k and one of the has no min

order value but they do charge £10 delivery and some of the prices that i have seen are very cheap as you would expect comming direct from a manufacturer rather than third or forth hand..

will keep you updated as to what is happening..

i went to see sfpermormance on friday about a set for the is300.. they can do em, but they will charge for the tooling cost..

[jac114]

I have contacted these people.. although I have only mentioned lengths rather than formed bends..

There website here

i'm not sure if this is a help, but duncan got his silicone hose in metre lengths from a shop by him ;)

[jac114]

[jac114]

one company came back to say No .. But the other came back with some details.. these are all straight lengths.. here are the specs.. and costs

be aware that any fuel/oil hoses will need to be lined

[jac114]

these are only suitable for air and water.. NOT oil.. but i was not looking at doing the oil or fuel anyway.. dont want to mess with them..

[Bazza]

i think most of `samco` hoses are suitable for fuel and oil

includes the power steering ones

they have a huge range

but there not cheap !

so could allways use them to do individual ones after you done all the others

Craig, Demon tweeks sell Samco in 1meter lenths.........

[jac114]

how do prices compare though..?? Yes i know samco are the best but you do seem to pay a premium..

[Bazza]

sfs hoses for comparison

hope this link works

o.k so check the 76mm from need for speed

4ply £52.34 per m and the one i found 5 ply 76mm £28.94 per m

6.5mm need for speed £9.53 and the one i found £7.46

and the ones i found i have gone on the worst prices...

so i think its quite good.. but as you say samco for oil and fuel..

[Bazza]

[jac114]

[jac114]
