Coolant Hose Online Resource....

[VanDiesel99]

Does anyone know of an online resource where I can find detail on coolant Hoses?

Now that my motor is 25 years old, some parts are becoming difficult to source, and Hoses from more modern vehicles are acceptable / modifiable and infinitely easier to find

…but it’s a slow laborious task doing this ‘manually’ at my local Scrappies, which is a 50mile round trip away from my home.

If I can ascertain Hose Length, Shape and ID’s at each end that’s going to help me a lot

Anyone know of a catalogue that provides the necessary detail?

I can't help, but bumping this in the hope of someone else having a bright idea. Hoses for classics can be a right bugger to source.

if you have the originals couldn't you just get them remade in silicone ? lots now do a classic range that look original.
I have used both js silicone hoses and Roose

Thanks Twisty for the 'Bump', good idea that...will remember it if I see a post that I think deserves similar

and thanks Neil, that looks like just the thing, I've downloaded it and I'm gonna go through it in a mo.

I shall follow up those leads Twibs (I do have the originals). So far I've only spoken to Pirtek who explained that the method they use to make custom hoses necessitates eye-watering prices, but maybe these guys will have a different way of doing things

I had a water pipe made ...1/2 bore two 45 bends approx 10 inches long cost me £25 or there abouts.

Sadly, rare parts command rare prices but at least water pipes aren't a "consumable". Is there an owners' club for your make?
