159 JTS Ti 2.2 Rad hoses

[JimB]

Hi All,
Asked for help on my intro post, to no avail, it seems. Has no one actually bought these?

"The prompt for joining the AR forum was that I have coolant weeping, in the tiniest amount, from the rad hoses at the clamps. Not much of a concern at this point and the original hoses are sound.
However, I want to buy hoses but not at AR's extortionate prices. Neither McKay nor Gates sell them!
I am sure this matter has arisen previously and was hoping someone could help, please." JimB. SA

ridiculous prices for the stuff, seen eastern europeans advertising second hand ten year old hoses for a hundred euros. i ended up getting some from a wrecker in Queensland, what'd you end up doing?

How do they compare to silicone (vs rubber) hoses?

I'm wondering if I should upgrade for longevity purposes...?

Btw, I thought you mean 'rad' as in 'fully sick' looking hoses. Now I get ya!
