[urq] Interest in reservoir-to-radiator hose??Fluhr ejfluhr at austin.ibm.comMon Sep 10 16:53:50 PDT 2007
Urq-listers, I am in a bit of a bind. My '82 radiator-to-reservoir hose is broken. My dealer says this hose is NLA. I tried to make a replacement out of Aeroquip hose, but am having problems with the diameter change between the radiator inlet and the reservoir output. Plus, the hose does not deal nicely with the bends required. I am morally opposed to cutting my car, so I don't want to retrofit a later-model reservoir to it and use the later model hose. 034 Motorsports makes a nice silicon hose for the later model cars. It would only need a change to the reservoir end to fit the earlier cars. So I have asked Javad to make an "early" version of that hose. If you are interested in upgrading or think you may need to purchase a replacement in the foreseeable future, can you email 034 Motorsports and weigh in about it? I felt there was a reasonable market (i.e. more than me) as the basis for him to invest in a batch of hoses, and I wanted him to see what that could be. Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in this deal nor in 034 Motorsports. My vested interest in this is to buy a nice hose from them to keep my Urquattro running. Thanks, Eric '82 urq
