There are many stockists/ suppliers of silicone hose kits,such as the usual minispeed,minisport e.t.c, you could always pop down to smiths and grab a copy of mini world/mag,loads of adverts for you to look though.
If it were me i would use the link on our front page for minispares,for which TMF+ members attract a discount on all items purchased

for a 1275 metro engine :) i got the kit from ebay, so many more choices of colour than most mainstream suppliers, i got mine from ebay, and they were manufactured here in the u.k, not china! (which is the main reason i bought them) more than happy with them, very easy to fit, they can even supply new hose clips for a few extra quid!

Hi just thought I'd add to this thread.

I'm replacing my heater hoses, who thinks these silicone ones would do the trick?

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item27be52aebf

They are specified as vacuum or radiator dump hoses, so obviously they aren't quite as thick as they should be.. But they are a hell of a lot cheaper! Worth a try or do they need to be more rigid? Surely they are better than the rubber ones though.


Thanks
