Silicone hoses

[fhwong]

I want to replace all the coolant hoses on my Noble to silicone.

I've looked at:

www.sfsperformance.co.uk
www.samcosport.com

Apparently sfs have a set especially for the Noble, but they are being very slow and not very forth coming in price or availability. The car is currently at the garage so I want it done this week!

Alternative I know some of you have used Samco, however they don't do a special set you have to buy universal hoses and cut to length. However the garage nor Samco know what type or length I would require.

I understand that some are a different bore as well?

Has anyone got a list of parts that they could let me use? It is a 3R that I have.

I assume everyone upgraded the jubilee clips as well? And got them from Samco as well?

Thanks

I found out the following information:

10mm or 3/8 ID pipes and need 8m in length?

Can anyone confirm that this is correct? Are there any other spec I need to know when ordering?

the 8mtrs is for the coolant hoses running under the car and engine bay?.You will need a full 4mtr lenght to go from rad to engine.I presume the floor trays are off the car?.If so you will also need to replace the hoses for the heater which is situated under the passenger foot well.The clips needed are thr type that have little or no gap under the screw.The ordinary jubilee leaves a gap and pinches the silicone .I always use full stainless types for under ground pipework.Always availiable from builders and plumbers merchants
