Hi list,
Just giving this another push as total numbers are enough for a batch to be
made but the price might be less realistic without a bigger order.
Remember this is a silicone hose in blue or black made to world class
motorsports standards in England for close to the same money for a rubber hose
that
might only last half as long if that.

Subj: Silicone hose for 1275 Cross flow radiator

Hi list,
I've come back on the list for just this one thing. I am thinking of having
some blue Silicone hoses made for the A-series engined Spridget (David Doiron
had a the whole set made for the vertical flow radiator cars). The company
that would make them - Samco www.samco.co.uk , are a local company to where I
live and have a good if not world class reputation. If I can get enough (say
50 people) interested the cost of the Hose-radiator to water pump (AHA 8742 /
GRH 510) would work out at around #11.50 a hose + post and packing, maybe a
few
pence +/-. Not sure what they works out at in dollars but the hose isn't
likely to be that heavy for airmail shipping.
The standard rubber hose costs #7 so it's not that more expensive to go to
blue Silicone and have a longer lasting hose. It is also be possible to have
a
black silicone hose rather than blue.
Obviously it would be possible to have all the other 1275 A-series hoses made
but the water pump hose is the most complex and most expensive so seemed like
the best place to start.
So far there are 5 Brits and 1 Aus interested so I need 44 more people for
this to happen - if you're a definite e-mail me direct and if you want a
discussion than post to the list.
Regards
Daniel
