PAS Hoses

[starmist]

Does anyone know where I can get a set of PAS hoses for my Griff, as I understand the factory are out of stock, and it would suit me to change them next week?

Ideally I would like to replace both the high pressure and low pressue hoses, including the short ones that connect onto the U bend.

I recently replaced the low pressure hoses, most motor factors stock the size (5/8's IIRC) just make sure they are suitable for PAS fluid.
I'm also needing to do one of the high pressure hoses so need a supply also if anyone has any ideas.

There is a company in High Wycombe called Spectrum Hoses who will supply and make any hose.

Obviously you need to know what to ask for unless you take the old hoses in. They made me some special front braided hoses the same day, sometimes they do it while you wait.

There's a place in Nuneaton on the Attleborough industrial estate, can't remember the exact name, something like "Nuneaton Hose and Fittings". They will renew your hoses if you have the high pressure end that attaches to the pump. Not sure of prices though.
Email schimg for exact details, he bought some hose for them the other week.

Since I live 5 miles from Nuneaton, and the hoses are currently with the car at TVR Power in Coventry, that sounds ideal. I'll try to get in contact with them.

Ta muchly.

Did you guys improve on the hoses, especially the connections as mine has a constant leak, very annoying and messy ???

I had the same problem, leaking from the 'U' bend. I tried replacing with a one piece pipe from the reservoir but this kinked and starved the pump - not good.
I reverted to the original set up but assembled the 'U' bend connection off the car which makes it much easier to position the clamps to ensure a good fit. Placing them too far from the end of the hose caused it to pucker at the end and subsequently leak.
It's a pain to try and thread the hose back from the pump though but no leaks now.
