These ones any good?
They are fluro lined , so the oil will not eat in to them again

Yeah they're fine apart from the silly logo on them and the price!

These are what we have paid to develop
The logo is on to show that
The price may be hight , but the OEM price on one of those hoses is over £20 + VAT
To have a sillicon one , that is fluro lined , then in the long run , it is a good price
The develpment time on these hoses are quite alot
Then the manufacturing of them takes quite a bit of time too

I appreciate all of those points. But personally it's too much to pay for 1 hose that I need and the other that I don't. I don't like the logo unfortunately. I'm sure if I needed both breather hoses I could be swayed but only need the 'Y' shaped one.

We can`t sell them seperately , but both are common to fail
On the Briskoda forum , it was arranged for 2 people who needed one of each of the hoses to buy a kit between them
Then we arranged postage too
So was good in the long run

That's a possible idea, any one want the lower breather hose?!

I may have a look at the 'other' one though to check its condition.

Ours have a bit more effort put in to them
We have seen many many of them fail
They are not there to look pretty , they are there to never fail again
One of the main reasons that these fail is the oil in the atmoshere of these hoses eat in to the rubber
So specail sillicon one was made up for them
These are all hand made within the UK too , then fluro lines
So they will never fail again
Sarah

If the OEM ones are over £20 for one and they fail , is a £15 one going to be better?

These are completely different!!!
Ours are made by SFS , in the UK
To our specifications , CHEAP Ebay ones are not fluro lined are will be cheap , so not as strong and will not last as long
