Not sure thats what Im after as it says it is a 2 piece set, and it is more like 60 hoses I need to replace in the engine bay.  I think I will probably need to find somewhere that can sell me the hosing by the length I need, then I will have to cut it down to the sizes I need.

Ian - if you do go ahead and get this kit, it might be worth trying for a power buy to amortise the postage costs. I\'d certainly be interested in this kit if postage is not ridiculously excessive.

Please mail or PM me if you want to combine at least one more order :).

Just getting round to ordering up some hose for the dreaded Hose Job.
Just want to check with folk in the know.
35\' of 4mm
10\' fo 6mm

Is this right?

Just looking at the hose techniques kit and it said 3.5mm for the rats nest.

For those that are interested it cost me $163 dollars for the kit including shippingand they only accept payment through Western Union.  So once I had payed the fee for that the full cost came to around £100.

Got all me hoses in. £70 for all the vac line.... I guess the other kit has coolant and windscreen washer stuff aswell though.

Could anyone who has done the rats nest tell me how long I can expect it to take. Won\'t be the first time I have been in the nest so I know it ain\'t going to be pretty.

Hi,

I know i\'ve posted this up on another thread, but i might aswell put it on here aswell. Rally design are really cheap for silicon hoses and even cheaper for vacuum hoses. Once you\'ve got bored of trying to work out the price using their primitive website, just ring them up and give the lengths required listed in the american website above ;) Trust me they will be cheap :cool
