I will start putting together a '89-94 pattern set', and get that sent off to UK, for a hard quote. |

the most interest has been for the early (pre95). it will take about 15-20 combined orders to cover the cost of tooling. this does not limit it to pre 95. it will take 15-20, 95-00 as well. there is a chance, that after the first go, pre 95, it will be a little easier to sell Samco on the next. further, the last real detail that I am working out with Samco, is to get it arranged so that we are not buying extra hoses in every set. this should help reduce the cost a bit. i.e. in the first buy, we got both lower radiator hoses, only need one, but purchased two. also, there may be cross over parts, which may not have to be retooled. a key to this is that once tooled, we will have these available as individual hoses or a set, basically forever. the PCV hose will be included, but this is a different material, oil resistant, and I will try to do both old and new at the same time. hope I answered your question(s). |

hey all, sorry I am absent as much as I am. I am working 70+ hours a week right now, plus 2 1/2 hours a day of drive time, and that leaves me little time to get any thing done. with the holiday w/e I should have a chance to gather up some hoses, to send in. bear with me. |

if you are not on the list, cause I missed some thing let me know. anyone can get in, until after the hard quote is received and the purchase is made. |

Well, what IS the MSRP for a whole set of hoses? All their prices for a couple of hoses start at around $120. We can look at $200 for a set. Also, I've never had any issues with my hoses. Can anyone advise why I should switch over to silicone or Samco's specific silicone hoses? |

there is NOT a set price yet. 1) I am willing to put together a "pattern set" of hoses, as well as shell out the minimum $60 to ship a set of hoses to the UK for a quote. but not if there is not enough interest to make the production minimum. nor do I care to waste their time. 2) you get what you pay for. I have not had any problems with oem hoses myself. silicone hoses are like women, some are silicone and some are not, and they come in many colors. the preference is your own. |
