I count 8 so far..... unless brayden's buying 12 we need more people.

put me down for a set...

who will be making the hoses brayden????

[Brayden]

No idea actually, I'll be sourcing them through BD Motorsports in Perth (Suzuki Specialist).

[macdee]

id be keen

[Unco]

i would be interested too, if this group buy is still happening.

[Brayden]

At this stage it won't be going ahead due to lack of interest.

[Unco]

hi Brayden, sorry to hear we couldn't get enough numbers, for now.

you mentioned that a group buy would see this set of hoses grabbed for around $100-$120.

just wondering, what is the normal retail price for these outside of a group buy scenario and are they an easy part to get a hold of?

TIA

[Brayden]

These hoses don't exist if we don't have a group buy, becuase the manfucturer would be custom making them - minimum order 20 units.

[ToranaGuy]

Ouch! That sucks but i can completely understand the minimum order requirement.

I've been thinking about it, but the moment i stick in my EFI gear i have to change at least the top radiator hose, so i really dunno.

Cheers

I didn't change the top hose on mine. I just cut it before the bend, installed a transfer pipe, and used the old bend on the thermostat housing end:

[ToranaGuy]

Ahhh, all is revealed! That's pretty cool. Can the new silicone hoses be cut like that easily enough with making them look like crap?

You have hose clamps on the rubber at each end of the transfer pipe don't you?

Cheers

[Brayden]

Yep, you can cut silicone reinforced hose with a sharp knife and get a good clean finish. I've done that with several of my intercooler hoses.

Hose clamps have been fitted since that photo was taken.

Unfortunately mine will have an alloy radiator and F6A twinkie.
