bluespeed Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Have done a quick search for this topic without success on the forum I am placing this post. I need to replace my K series 2002 R300 bottom rad hose, assume this is a stock part for a ????car. Before I go to my local factors with my old hose and say have you got one of these mate I thought I would be more informed and try to find out a part number / Car make etc. first (my motor factors are already fed up of me trying to match bits of my car to their shelf stock). I hope someone out there has the answer.... Simon N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 8, 2012 Member Share Posted March 8, 2012 There are lots of recommended suppliers of silicone hoses in the archives. Any of those knows how to make that one. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted March 8, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted March 8, 2012 Simon the answer to your question is:- No this is not a stock item for any other car. It is a Caterham specific hose. Therefore obtained from Caterham or Redline (recommended) and your local spares shop won't have any. Advice: The rubber hoses are prone to cracking after a while and seem to need replacing quite frequently. Therefore, silicone hoses are recommended. They are more expensive but will last longer, look smarter and are available in other colours. They can also obtained direct from suppliers. Try googling SFS performance or Samco. Hope this helps.
