Hi All,

 

I've currently got the car in the garage and want to replace all the coolant hoses with a red hose kit (most seem to be blue!).  Struggling to find a set, does anyone on here know the best place to go?

 

This is a 1991 car with a 1,6-1-19 Skip Brown conversion and I think the block is from 1985.

Baker bm does blue black or red , its important you decide what you have as later engines have a different thermostat block to early cars and several hoses are different as well as the hose to the steel water rail from the water fitting at the back of the engine has 2 different diameters :

Beware the french sellers on Ebay as they are for lhd cars and some of the hoses are different lengths.

Baker BM do a red kit.  Samco should also have a red kit too as that's normally one of their core colours.  Might be worth speaking to Miles at PugRacing too as I think he supplies a hose kit too - possibly SFS?

 

As above though, you definitely need to identify exactly what engine setup you have as some of the hoses differ between earlier & later setups.
