Good deal on Gates fuel hose
Discussion
Been a bit of discussion lately (and still going on on some of the other TVR forums) about fuel hose. I think the outcome was that Gates Barricade is about as good as you can get?
A 25 foot (7.6m) coil of 5/16" (8mm) is given the Part No. 27340
Looking on Amazon full rolls are in the £95 region but one guy had them at a lot less, so much cheaper I was suspicious so I emailed to confirm if genuine, full roll etc.
Got a very polite reply thanking me for pointing out his pricing error and as a thank you he would set the price at his cost, £75, for 24 hours so I could purchase if required. After that it will go back up in line with other sellers at £95.
So if you want some search Gates 27340 on Amazon, but be quick

I was going to go for the Gates Barricade 1/4 bore on the line between pump and injection until I spotted this by accident in the MOSS catalogue ' Not suitable for high pressure fuel injection, can be used on the low pressure fuel return'.
According to the Gates spec sheet linked to above the "Barricade" is rated at 15.5 bar ( about 225 psi), are you sure Moss weren't selling the Gates "carburetor" pipe?How much was it per metre?

a new rear diff mount rubber, found a crack in the old one while the diff was off
Have you found a new original, good second hand or splashed out on a fancy Silicone one?Getting back to fuel hose, 2.8 may be different but everything I've come across so far has been 8mm - 5/16"?
