silicone hoses are like women, some are silicone and some are not, and they come in many colors. the preference is your own.
Thanks a lot Sphenicie, I just spit my coffee all over my computer!!!

Showed off the set I got from the first group buy from strider at the meet yesterday and there was a few more interested. One question I got was about the colors available. It there a pic of them? I can't find the one I had and the one that was posted before is no longer available.

as well as shell out the minimum $60 to ship a set of hoses to the UK for a quote.
Check with USPS for shipping. I sent a box to Australia last year about the same size of a box for the hoses and it wasn't near $60.00. They do send the flat rate boxes international. You should be able to find it on their website.

medium size flat rate, "if it fits" box international shipping is $59.99. that is what I found to be the best rate. maybe cheaper to UK, than New Zealand, but .........we will see.

looks like rain, and I am waiting on some parts, so I will scrounge around for some more for the sample patterns.

I have the hoses collected, for the pre 95 pattern plus PCV. (I believe)

I will send them out as soon as I can collect all the OEM part numbers with each.

I will also post this info, for yall to review, prior to sending. I may also ask for some help along the way.

please bear with me as I will be traveling for work and it will be a couple weeks.

thanks

Just another wrench.

Is the PVC interchangeable between the pre 95 and post?
I have a 1998.

It's different between the finned valve cover and the early non finned valve cover.

I have completed the collection of the 89-94 hose set. I am sending a pic to another member for verification. then out for a hard quote. I will be gone till next Sun, so keep this in mind. thanks.


the hoses will be as follows;

1) upper radiator
2) lower radiator
LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE (3);
3)coolant tube to left (out) heater core
4)intake manifold (rear port) to right (in) heater core
5)intake manifold (forward port) to thermostat housing
RIHGT SIDE OF ENGINE
6) intake manifold to throttle body, **there are two variations**
7) coolant tube to throttle body
FRONT OF ENGINE
8) PCV; to be made from petroleum resistant material.

part number 2 will be cut to the length of the longer hose. the shape of the two is identical, but one is for a short coolant tube and therefore longer. if you need the shorter hose you can cut down the longer hose.

part number 6 is the only one that will have an alternate part. this will help to keep the cost down, by both reducing redundancy and the extra hoses in a kit.

I will also provide Samco with the stock lengths of misc straight hoses such as the radiator to overflow, so we can get the lengths needed, with out having to buy extra.

well, above are the pix of what I came up with. the only significant variance was the one marked with red tape. both will be available. once again, I used the lower radiator hose that is longer, so that it will work for both apps.

if anyone sees something that I missed, please bring it up this week. I will be gone again until next w/e, and then they will be on theyre way across the atlantic for the hard quote.

thanks Jeff!

Thanks all for puttn up with the delays, as I have been workn out of state the last few weeks.

since no one has had any disputes with the hoses, it is time to announce that they are on they're way to the UK, as pictured above and labeled similarly.

Once they get there, Samco will get us a hard quote.
