SAMCO HOSE ORDERS - Arrived

[stephendell]

There are a similar number of hoses available from Samco, some extra ones (water pump & cylinder head) but not the two rear main coolant.

Those hoses pictured are OK but the 'T' joins on the hoses aren't nice, they should ideally be spigots and most people would be happier with the 'market leader' as the price is similar.

Personally I would much rather complete the range with Samco as we already have a good relationship with them, they hold some of our tooling and hoses and we are only looking at 6 or so new hoses to have a full range for all vehicles.

If we can finally post up a firm list then I'll see what can be done.

I may also be in for some water hoses later on too.

OK, I'll take an extra set for stock and that will be x 5 kits. Let's see if I can persuade Samco to make them (normal minimum is x 10 kits)

Hi Stephen,
I'll take a pair of A610 inter cooler hoses in black if they'll do them.

Stephen, I will take two sets as per our discussion months ago, which will then help towards getting closer to the 10 order.

Getting somewhere now

Well I definately need the intercooler hoses anyway. Would also be up for the coolant hoses if they were to come to fruition.

Cheers

Well, I am interested in a full set of coolant hoses for my Atmo.......what are the chances then Stephen

Any one else interested

I'll have a look at mine over the next few weeks to see what condition they are in. I'm not into engine bling though so I'm not sure what colour to go for if I ordered some

Go on get involved you know you want to, get some black for oem look or blue for a colour code look.
You know what will happen if you dont!!! Boost leak when you next give it the beans.

[BIG_MVS]

Yes OE look is the way to go I think.

Not sure about the red...



Anyone recognise the manufacturer or are they GTA hoses?

I was looking at these on french ebay they are £270 touch i think.

Here is the link

There is also an A610 for e30,000

I must admit, I've been thinking hard about this. I really want to give the yellow ones a go as I think they'll look pretty smart but don't want it to make the car look chavvy. Maybe I'll get a yellow and black set, see how it goes and flog the black ones to Big MVS when his do eventually fail.
Any thoughts chaps? I do like being a bit different, otherwise I'd be driving a bloody 3 series like everyone else in the UK!

I am in the same boat john I am thinking the black hoses may be a safer bet!! But this is a 90's supercar in yellow so dont want it looking boring either. I had yellow hoses on my R11 turbo and they are a mare to keep clean!!

Alpine's really aren't a safe bet in any way though are they!!?

To be honest, I'd settle for either colour right now as long as they get made as my gaffer tape supplies are running low
