I have only had one coolant hose fail, the only one I had not got around to replacing, the little one on the back of the engine that goes to the heater valve. Lots of steam and motor missing in the middle of a full throttle kickdown. Very alarming!
Also to note I got a full set of hoses from devek in the days they were operating and they did not realise there were rhd/lhd differences, but it seemed only two hoses (if I recall correctly) were RhD/LHD specific.
But Roger if you are looking for a new product line try the expansion tanks for RHD. Mine cost well over US$350.
There are replacement alternatives I have read about but in stainless and look nothing like the original.
While on the subject of LHD/RHD parts, headers also seem to be an impossibly rare item, though I have seen a set here in New Zealand, the owner called the car the Beast because of the noise it made...
