Silicone Hoses

[tvr_griff_4000]

Anybody put silicone hoses on a Griff? If so any details, like who supplied them, how much & what to order (i.e. what sizes & spec?) I suppose, moreover, was it worth it? It's for a 500......

This one raised it's head about 18 months ago when someone, (can't remeber who) was looking for about 10 interested poeple to get some made up. Not heard anything since. Rich...

Looks like i'd be one of the 10 then... The other Richard

I'd like some of those, in TVR purple of course.

Seems to be a hole in the market here for an enterprising dealer, or even Mr Zertec? What about it all you dealers?

[anjago]

I agree, I would like some too

I think that the silicon hoses talked about before were the Samco ones. Try the following web site: www.dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/plaza/ggh54/samco/index.shtml
Seems like they even do purple ones!

yes, been there, but they need minimum ten for an order. Suppose I can build it up from bits from the Demon tweeks catalogue. Let you know how I get on.

Why not get a poll together, you never know 10 people could be interested if the price is right. How much are they?

[EdT]

apart from looking nice what would we all gain ? My factory fitted rubber hoses seem to do what they're supposed to do well enough ..

I would be very interested in joining in the 10 for a set of hoses.Any one know a rough price?

Bear in mind that the hoses on the 4.x and 5 litre cars, serp and pre-serp engines are slightly different and a set for one will not automatically fit the others.

Bought the bits. Let everyone know how I get on fitting them. Also spoke to Simon @ Leven who is producing a kit for cooling system. I've got one and will fit that at same time. It consists of better thermostat gasket, different thermostat and different otter switch, together with water wetter. They tested it on a track 4.8 chimera with good results. Worth a go!
