Coolant tank beige hose

Has anyone managed to source the small bore beige hoses/ hose material that go to the radiator & heater T piece? I've managed to get hold of everything else for my Sprint Resurrection but I'm stumped on this. Obviously there's plenty of choice in black. If I reuse the old hoses, I'll have to cut back the ends so they'll probably be too short ..... but tbh they are time expired & aren't going to clean up very well..

I would like some beige hose if you do manage to find any.
The other hose I never managed to find is the yellow braided hose between the brake fluid reservoir and the clutch master cylinder-have you been able to source any of that ?

Dave, thanks. He hasnt got any. AFRA list it but I suspect they are selling 8mm generic blabk fabric covered hose. I've emailed asking what colour it is.Auto doc & its sister sites list it same as they do for everything else, but when you try to order they show nil stock same as they do for everything else :roll:

Gary, watch this space! My car has a beige hose between the reservoir & the clutch master.

The reply in mangled English says the hose AFRA have got is nero. So I have decided to use some black woven fabric hose with a red tracer to distinguish it from the fuel hoses. Way over spec, its got stainless reinforcing braid. Installed today before I took the engine to the bodyshop.

Is your fuel hose braided rubber?
If so, beware ethanol!

Hi Dave, fuel hoses are Ethanol resistant. I'll be running the Sprint on Tesco Momentum 99. It has a very low Ethanol content. My GTV6 however is still on its original 42 year old hoses so they need replacement asap.
