Hi,
Looking at the cooling hoses rad to engine and the ones going up to the oil cooler they look in need of replacement (especially the short metal sections that connects the radiator and heater hoses.
Anyone know where I can order these sorts of FB parts from??

Are they she same as the FC3S?
You may need to search out a scrapper Tim.
Tim White at RX Motors, Dorset may be your best chance, here is a breakers list in the meantime.
Can you use 15mm copper and Yorkshire fittings, possibly sprayed Aluminium? That\'s perhaps what I would think of first. Bit of plumbing skills.
Hi have found at least the rad upper and lower hoses along with some of the smaller hoses on american web sites.
They are not too expensive (between 5-10pounds) for a moulded hose along with about £10 shipping per order. For the other pipes I probably could get away with 17mm coolant hose.
I am surprised that you cannot but these parts new in the UK as they seem fairly easy to get from the US and I know they are easy to get in NZ where I am from originally. Can they not be ordered through the Mazda dealer network? A friend of mine orders parts direct from Mercedes for his 1984 merc.
