apjenkins Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Need to replace the top & bottom Rad hoses on my 1600 X-flow and think Silicone is the way to go long term. Can anyone recommend a 'right first time' supplier at a reasonable cost. Thanks in anticipation, @ndrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Redline would be my first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I did get mine from Caterham, that was about a year ago 😳, but worth a try Caterham now Sold here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Last time I was at Redline (I buy most of my parts from them) I asked about silicone hoses, the price for the two radiator hoses was about £100 (£125 from Demon T) Came away with ordinary hoses for spares to keep in the boot for £14.90 the pair inc VAT. They might not be blue but I don’t take my bonnet of in public 😬 From Clam shells to Cycle wings for only 3K here IT'S MANGO AND THAT'S THE END OF THE MATTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sootysevener Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Andrew Got mine from Burtonpower who don't rip you off on postage but managed to negotiate a better price than Demon thieves as well - about GBP70 including some straight hose to replace the heater pipes and rad overflow David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher2 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Bought mine from Caterham in may last year at a cost of £51.05 for the pair. Fitted like a dream but had to buy some really good jubilee clips to get a good, water tight seal. They look great and brighten up the engine bay a treat. *smile* Good luck Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher2 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Just seen a set on e-bay. Bit of a strange colour but quite cheap. Item number 8027631090 Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dam - If I'd have known they came in that colour I'd have kept the Crossflow ❗ 😬 Steve SE7EN-UP! Incorporating the Caterham Links Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
