nang Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If unavailable, take the old one to a motor factor and try to match it with something else. Shouldn't have too much trouble in finding something even if you have to shorten one.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi All,After replacing my radiator hose with an aftermarket silicone hose and being disappointed with small leaks, I finally managed to track down the company that claims to have the original tooling to manufacture this hose. This is:Nufox Rubber LimitedUnit 1, Bentley AvenueMiddleton, MANCHESTER, M24 2GPTel: +44 (0) 161 655 8800 Fax: +44 (0) 161 655 8801Web: http://www.nufox.comI have ordered an upper and lower hose, references 1471R and 1459R respectively. Prices are fantastic. I am expecting delivery in the next two weeks so I will keep everyone updated.Also a word of advice. British Leyland (in their infinite wisdom) utilised wire and worm clips, which in my experience are undesirable.They are unable to sympathetically expand and contract and are prone to corrosion.Far better is the clip used on the 2nd generation Honda Civic, Honda part number 19511-PA6-003. Lets face it. Honda know what they're doing 😉 BL..... Mmmmmm 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just to show you, this is my disappointing after market silicone hose effort...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citroentim Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Look forward to hearing how you get on with this, the radiator hoses on both my beige beauties are hard with age but not yet leaking. Keen to get them replaced before summer when I will be using them both and putting the modern car off the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hoses have arrived peeps. All looking good! Will fit next week and give another update 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicaluk Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Nice detective work. I look forward to seeing how they fit. How much were they?I wounder if they made the windscreen seals tooDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I Paid less than £60 including shipping for the two sets. In fact, I was so delighted with the price quoted for 1 set, I ordered 2. This on the premise that I could potentially buy another Acclaim in the future. Interestingly, I've only just noticed that the company do other product lines in rubber, so it is possible they could do the windscreen seals. Might be worth asking the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soton Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 It looks as though windscreen seals are something they would certainly tackle. The front and rear seals on my car and a friends car are both on the way out and I expect they are on most cars now. If no-one else fancies having a go (don't want to tread on any toes or duplicate effort) I would be happy to see if a batch of seals could be created. Would there be much interest?Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I don't need any at the moment, but sure count me in as I consider having some in stock useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicaluk Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Ill definitely have a pair. Ill probably have some for patterns if they need them.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks Dan. I think I only have a small sample of an old seal. Now folks, an update on the hoses. I fitted the new ones this afternoon and I can confirm that they fit beautifully! So well infact, they could have grew there. It was simply a case of transferring the shrouds from the old upper hose to the new one. I also fitted the replacement Honda clips. Some pictures below:Refilled with 50/50 G30 and de-ionised water. Bled and is running a dream 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicaluk Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Oooh look at you and your posh coolent blend..... lol glad the hoses fitted so nicleyHave you contacted the company about screen seals or should i?Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie117 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hahaha, Thanks Dan. My mind pushes the idea of tap water away with horror >If you could please look into the seals, I'll be very grateful.Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citroentim Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I would be interested in a couple of sets of windscreen seals for my 2 cars if you do look into this and need to gauge numbers if there is a minimum production run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'd have at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
