Are you after boost hoses or coolant pipes?

When I spoke to samco regarding a coolant hose kit (years ago), they said they didn't list one, but if i sent a kit to them they would make it available. I may have a set of hoses that could be sacrificed if this is the case.

As regards boost hoses I think im right in saying they're 57mm internal and can be bought in standard straight lengths, 45's and 90's etc. Just a case of measuring up. The lower elbow to ic im using a chopped down 45 degree elbow, not perfect, but not far off.

i wonder how much samco would charge. I wouldn't mind replacing all my coolant hoses.

Would there be enough interest on here for a group buy you think?

If they are still able to do them and can get a ruff price who would be interested? I know a local scrappy has got all the hoses so wouldnt be a problem sending them off. I would even send mine off as i dont drive it that much.

Well its only 7 hoses?

I would say they are gonna charge at least £15-20 a hose. I would ask around as samco are more expensive, i use sfs and viper performance and its all the same just what brand you wanna pay for on the hose.
