Hi,
Currently we have
DAR951
JustinL
Sam Lin
on the interested list
I have 3 other potential interested locally but need to get about 20 interested so that its worth getting
a quotation for manufacture. I have one dealer interested in ordering 20 sets but would rather try and get the discounts out to us guys as once the dealers are involved this kind of order will be more difficult as dealers usually want exclusive product lines

Is the heat transfer noticible or is it a difference of just a degree type thing? And are these silicon hoses durable or will they tear if they get tugged too hard or a clamp is too tight.
Ummm other than those questions, I might be in pending price.

Depending on thickness of tube you can usually wrap your hands round a silicone top hose when the engine is hot........ without burning yourself! Try that with your standard hose......... NO DONT TRY IT AT ANY COST!! It will burn! If its good enough for F1 its good enough for our cars!
Yes they are durable, in fact I have found them easier to remove than standard hoses as they don't seem to stick, they seal properly too.
Graeme, I am going to get them made in either blue or red but I suppose they could be made in any colour if it was available!

I dunno if I want to color match everything in the engine bay to the paint, might look a bit too gaudy for my taste lol.
And that makes them a very attractive upgrade if they conduct so little heat compared to stock hoses... Im liking the sound of this!

Black can be done! They will be slightly more shiny though than stock . Its the nature of the material.
Any questions give me a shout, it would be great if we can get these finally made without having to involve a dealer (no disrespect intended to dealers) because they will be at factory door prices not paying for anybodies summer vacation!! We need to get a minimum of 20 sets. Unfortunately untill I have enough interest I cannot really ask the manufacturer to price the job up as I would not want to waste their time if we can't achieve minimum order.
Cheers
Tom
