Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Hi guys i was talking to a hosing supplier who makes hose kits for alot of different car companies inc a 4AGE AE86 set up after seeing a Kit they made on a friends AE86 and its Very good quality.
I gave them a ring asking would they be interested in making a silicon hose set (in a range of colours) for the Mk1 and they would be :+:
Im gathering a full set of rad hoses tomorrow to send to them and that have said they will do a special price for the club once they have the Jigs set up which they said normally takes about a month to get right/fully test.
So Not sure on price but we are talking about £50-60+postage for similar kits with the same number of hoses. we can probably get the postage down by sending them to a few people who then distribute to local members. :+:
What do you think

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Sounds good to me! So long as they can do yellow :D
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
As long as the quality is there, very very interested :+:
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
if they can do smaller bore tubing in the same colours for vacuum pipes on the engine i would be interested in that too!
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Depending on quality, price, colour and which hoses will be in the kit, count me in :+:

vaccuum hosing in any colour is v easy to find and would match most samco type stuff without getting it from them.

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Had a nice phone call with a chap in Japan today and they will happily make up the full kit we discussed their manufacturing and testing process and im happy that they could make replacment parts for some of the aircraft i work on.
Only thing is they can only do either Yellow or Blue for the kit. :problem:

Not a problem for me :D

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Blue sounds good to me, especially if its Samco' esque blue :+: Any idea on price and whats in the kit, or am I getting ahead of myself :shifty:
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1

http://www.jappartsspecialist.com/produ ... ts_id=4122 works out with postage about £60

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
If you struggle with these guys\want more colour options, I deal with a company that doesn't currently do mk1 hoses but will make some up if a certain number of people (I'll have to find how many they would need).
They offer them in Blue - Red - Purple - Yellow - Green - Black-Orange
Just another thought for you if you wanted more colours.
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
please do if they are abit more local than Japan the prices may be cheaper :+:
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Yep they are UK based,
Shall drop them a mail\ give them a call and see what they say.
I might need to send a set pipes off to them so they can price it up, shall see if I have a full set to send in my box of pipes.
Oh and Vyizis, they do Vacuum piping in Blue, red, yellow and black.

I think that if going to the effort of getting a kit sorted then the full colours options would be far better (esp seeing how many people would want red too i guess..., and glad they have orange ;) )
I will keep an eye out for your updates :+:

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Well I've emailed them but my contact didn't make it in today (something about snow apparently :) ). They know my request now and hopefully will get back to me asap.
Oh this company also supply different types of clamp, the silicon tape in different colours, reducers, angles, bends. So anything custome we could possibly do as well. They also have the bulge pipes like those used on the SC's etc.
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I've only just come accross this topic but I'd also be very interested, but only if there was a choice of colours I'm afraid.
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Ok, bit of news today.
The guy I deal with will do the hoses happily.
However he can't give me a price until he's had the original pipes to see what is needed.
I've got to dig out the OE hoses (don't really want to rip them off my car.
Once they have them and have given the price we will need between 10-15 people in on it before they will make the silicon copies.
After that first batch tho they won't have a minimum order, its just to make it worth thier while to set up the tooling.

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Ill be very interested in a set in black do all the initial 10-15 all have to be the same colour?
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I'm interested in a set in black as well
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Doesn't matter the colour, the 10-15 sets is just to get the numbers to make up the tooling. :)
Just one question....
Does anyone have a complete set of hoses already off thier car that they could spare, if not no problem I'll dig around my hose boxes to work out the set :)
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I have a set of hoses that Crazylegs gave me to look into this very thing for the mk1 club.
I never got the momentum to send the hoses off.
You are welcome to pick them up from Leicster (Your location is not in your profile...)
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Ah down in Newport, South Wales so a bit far to pick them up :(
Never mind, I have to have a set somewhere I can use.
Cheers for the offer tho :)
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Ok
I also had a thought: when i was going to try and do this for the mk1 club shop i was going to get a price for club members etc.
If you are short of numbers to get the first batch made up, then mabe contact Richrad Brett (club shop) to see if this would still be viable. this way it will be a benefit to club members. It may be possible for the club to pre-purchase a number but not get them made up till the orders come it to get the customers colour chioce. (i guess the company just will want 'x' amt to start a new run.
I guess once they have made the mould then it would be possible to get futher orders made up as required one by one.

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I'd like a set in Black too if this does go ahead :)
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Definately interested in this, cant decide on blue or yellow though :wtf:
-
Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I forgot to reply to this...
Yes please. Red or black if available (though as the car is red, I'll probably take black).
And I'll find out what similarities are with the SC - if I can use them (even some/most) on the SC as well, I'll take two sets... (cos I'm gonna have to buy some new pipes for it anyway)
-

Coolant lines are identical on the SC.
I'm definately in for a blue set, and might have a second one in red if the price is ok.
But one in blue irrespective of price (within reason :lol: )

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Hi, I have had a pm from mr2mk1 chick on this one, I havn't got any pipes myself (think they have all been chopped up. She's going to try and get some to me so I can get my supplier to cost them for us.
Just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten, for some reason I've had no reply emails from this thread, so I'll keep an eye on it a bit closer :)

Any progress on this?

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
I've not managed to get a full set of spare pipes together to get a quote from my supplier yet, got some of them now but still missing some.
If worst comes to the worst I should have a mk1 in somtime soon for a V6 conversion so might be able to steal the pipes that are removed from there.

Re: Gauging Interest Full silicon radiator Hose Kits for the Mk1
Ok just to let you guys know, I'll be dropping a 4age out of my new mk1 very soon so will finally be able to send off a set of hoses to get the prices my supplier can make them up for.
Just wanted to let you know I havn't forgotten, just been struggling to get a full set of hoses.
