Hi have a look at austin healey parts suppliers they should have it,or if no joy canal barges use this type of hose for everything!!.
My brother has a barge and i went to a place in Stockton Heath in Warrington with him for some bits, they have every different size of hose all dunlop black with yellow stripe was about £2 a metre.
If you can't get hold of any i could pick you some up when passing.

Thorn Marine dont supply it apparently - though they recommended i try a place down "bank quay, by the tip, off Old Liverpool Road'. Is anyone from this area who might know the name of the place, the sales lady couldnt remember.....

will

ive just been round to the local hydraulic specalists

they can get black air with yellow stripe

id 12.5

od 22

you have to buy a 30 meter roll though, and they will have to get back to me about what 'branding' is printed on it.

Thanks rich, much appreciated you doing that.

The original stuff looks really thick in terms of OD, and is of course natural rubber - i found some black / yellow airline that was very thin but is almost half yellow / half black, and Dunlop do manufacture oil industry spec hose (overkill for servo?) with the thin yellow line. Im awaiting a response from then regarding other products.

Incidentally, i was told by a large classic brake specialist that this has been unavailable for 10 years or more?

Aquamini how long was it since you went to the place in Stockton?

Hmmm 30 metres.....group order! Only 47/8 cars worth.

are you sure the servo hose is actually supposed to be black with a yellow stripe? I have an all original low mileage 67 and it has the black & yellow hose on the heater taps, but not on the servo...(just a black hose) Looks like it has always been that way, cannot imagine why someone would have changed it.

Black and yellow stripe hose is a works thing isn't it?

I agree with graham, I am not by any means convinced that cars were supplied new with this type of hose.

Hi the last time i visited there was about 5 years ago,i would think if they don't have any some marine supplier will have some.His boat has it everywhere needs a new engine (bmc 1.8 fitted and is knackered going to fit a modern diesel).
I will strip all the old hose out if you don't get fixed up you can have some of that all in perfect order and 3 different sizes.

If anyone lives near Northwich (river Weaver) there are lots of marine suppliers around there one of them will have some.

To clarify, hose not going on a standard car.....looks way better than the tangle of black pipe when taking into account heater hose, intake etc...
