I can see the price being somewhere around the £50 mark for a kit with a good few hoses in.  Most of these hoses are quite a small diameter (compared to the Vauxhall ones I've been doing) so this should help keep the cost down.

I'll be measuring my 1.8 8v up this weekend and have hopefully got someone coming round with a 16v the weekend after...so prices and specs to follow!

As I've said before, if anyone does want any custom ones built up, just give me a shout.  :wink:

Anyone know if the pipes are different when you do the 2L bottom end conversion?

Cheers. :smiley:

stan_deezy: Not sure what you mean mate, sorry.  Basically whatever hoses people need I can supply, its not a problem.

Measuring up 8v hoses this weekend.  Thread to follow in 'For Sale' section where people can put names down for colours etc.  Might need to do a prototype batch initially to check fitting etc, but shouldn't take too long.  Current order-delivery time is just under 2wks from placing order to having them manufactured and delivered.

Indeed they are, the waterpump -> oil cooler piping is different as is the header tank pipe (if you decide to go all out and use the improved 2.0 flange on the front of the head)

BIG Matt: I have a 2.0 lump in my garage, I can strip off the hoses that differ and send em to you if you like, as long as I get em back or the 2.0 set work out at a good price ;)
