UK made silicone hoses for classic, retro and sports cars

Post by mab01uk »

Classic Silicone Hoses Ltd.
Standard colours and finishes are :-
“Old Style Wrap” – a matte black vintage style wrapped finish
“Classic Black” – Similar to smooth OEM rubber hoses, a dull black/grey finish
Standard glossy silicone colours – black, blue and red.
All hoses are of 3 ply, 5.25 mm wall construction in standard polyester silicone.
NB. 4-ply hoses can be made as a special order.
"Some variations on our silicone hoses can also be produced for individual customers, based on those we currently produce, for example without heater takeoff – for motorsport use and with flared ends etc."

I had a set made for the 997 a few years ago they were very good ..But took a long time to deliver perhaps that is all fixed by now.

Looking at pictures in the Mechanical Service Parts List for Austin & Morris Mini-Cooper and Cooper S book they seem to be old style wrap, these are a good product that we have used many times on other classics other than Min's

Last year I visited the Professional Motorsport World exhibition in Cologne where there was a stand of a firm called Leyland Silicone Hoses. Obviously this firm came out of the Leyland Bus Parts Ltd and wears the exact logo of Leyland trucks. So at least some connections with the old Leyland company.
