Coolant hose - where to find silicone replacement in uk
Hi
I would like to find a silicone hose coolant hose set for my MY 85 S2 4.7.
I can't even find a UK supplier who does any hoses at all for 928s except for the rad hoses, and then only in rubber.
Does anyone know any suppliers, or failing that one in the States?
Any pointers much appreciated
David

The issue is that silicone is not a good material for coolant hoses as the coolant permeates through the wall of the hose. As all the hoses are readily available in the correct material there is little need for someone to make them in silicone.
However if it is the "bling" effect you want all bets are off.

Thank you for that Roger - the people marketing the silicone go on about 'this is the last hose you will ever fit, last for ever, etc etc' so perhaps I should take that with a pinch of salt!
Do you do hose kits for an '85 S2 4.7?

David I am assuming that your car being a UK S2 is also RHD. Remember that most of the cooling hoses apart from the upper and lower radiator hoses are completely different to LHD cars that most on this board are familiar with.
Because they are specifically RHD parts they start with the prefix 927 and not 928 and are only supplied via Porsche. I stock most of the RHD parts here in the States but my prices are on par with those from your local OPC in the UK. Because of added shipping costs and HMS customs it will be way cheaper to buy these hoses locally.
If you need all the part numbers shoot me an email and I will send you a list and a price so you can show it to your local OPC. Roger@928srus.com
