Hi,

 

I'm looking for some hydraulic hose similar to original exterior finish to re-hose a displacer unit.

 

Does anyone know where hose like this could be bought?

 

Here's a picture of the original, not taken by me:

Any tips appreciated,

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Your local hydraulic/pneumatic supply company should be able to help. I use Burley Hydraulics in St. Ives, Cambs., for any specialist hydraulic or pneumatic stuff I need and they are fantastic.

Suitable hosing to do the job is fairly widely available, as the other guys have said and great that Minimail offer a a service doing just this, however I take it that you are after a hose with the same external patter / appearance, which is not available. I think these are some guys here in Aust who have been talking to one of the hose manufacturers to get it made though, but I have no idea where that's at.

I think you will find the problem is not getting the hose but how to attach it to the displacer. This is were the specialists service come in ,approx. .300psi
