Silicone Hoses for 75's

Rollo_Somerset · 18th March 2020, 02:04

Does anyone out there know if there are any silicone coolant and heater hoses available. Am looking to get a set for my KV6 2001 Connie. Could get them custom made but would need to gat a minimum of 5 of each. Not a problem as I have 5 Rover 75's but may consider getting more made if there is any demand.
Have looked at Rimmers and they're horribly expensive for rubber hoses that deteriorate in a few years. Silicone is much more durable and probably about the same price or less.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

MK Hoses of Milton Keynes - i bought a set for my turbo a couple of years ago - they are on E BAY as well - great quality and far exceed the MGR rubber hose.

And silicone of course in your choice of colour.

There's a couple of related threads, but never developed anywhere: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=013872...49.1eHlp6uKLqY

There were a few 1.8 Turbo/PRT sets doing the rounds a while back, but they seem to have faded away now.

Someone recommended these people - https://www.dphsiliconehose.co.uk/

I can't see any mention of 75/ZT hose kits on any of these sites so it probably means having them custom made (expensive).

Nothing listed on their website so I've just emailed them to ask.
