Torchwood (and other modellers) may be able to add to this, but the silicone fuel tubing we use on model r/c engines is translucent. If you could get hoses for the Bongo with similar translucency it would actually be an excellent idea as it might have real diagnostic value (checking flow, air bubbles, discoloured coolant etc.) plus how cool would it be to be able to see and demonstrate how your coolant system works 8)

Not wanting to put a dampener on things, but arent these very expensive even when your car only has a couple of hoses :cry: . You could probably by several sets of Mazda hoses for the same price. Of course I could be wrong!

Until Bamtamman gets back with a price (depending on interest of course) The only example i can suggest is that i had a complete set of Samco silicone hoses fitted to my focus ST 170,i think i paid around £150 for 9 hoses. It would have probably been around £130? for a full standard set from ford.

There was nothing wrong with any of the hoses, but the blue colour i chose matched the lumenition plug leads i'd fitted... :lol:
