    Re: Shanghai, China silicone hoses

    i have fitted a set, few probems with them, but all in all good value, the problems i had was turbo water hose cracked on bend, think because of heat produced by turbo, so used a standard and also top water hose bleed nipple leaked but i sorted that. hope this helps, just watch out for over tightening bleed nipple as there not fixed into the pipe too well and if forced the seal leaks

    On the bleed nipples just rap a small bit of ptfe tape on the thread, that should stop them seeping

    Re: Shanghai, China silicone hoses

    Cheers for peoples opinions, I think most silicone hoses have crap bleed nipples, iv got a samco one on mine now, iv gypsy modded the rad hose with a rachet socket extender and Electrition tape because the bleed nipple totally fell apart, it's spot on lol il post a pic up tomorrow. Looks brutal but will do for now.

    It seems like a decent price for the hoses

    my samco top hose nipple has decided to give,going to send it back to samco..
    had a full set of silicone hoses am slowly going back to oe,think there way better than
    most of these bling hoses,until they can make some that are actually robust an last.
    for oe and....for silicone..
