Samco Hose ?? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

4DSZR1 · 11-01-2008

I'd like to get a set of Samco hoses, but I really dont like the Samco writing all over the hoses. Has anyone ever tried to get the lettering off with any solvent?

Thanks
Rick

Eagerly watching for "yes" replies. Or has anyone found a cover-up method such as a high temp flex paint/coating.

Its is not going to happen. I do however hear what you have to say as im running a set of SAMCOs on my daily ride as well. While installing I also had to ask myself could they be any prouder of their hoses? As their Samco logos are everywhere. The reality is the LT5 is such a small percentage of thier total operating business that unless a group buy of a say 500 units was offered in a custom run its just not going to happen.

I'm greatful they make the hoses for the LT5 but I have to agree, they do seem a bit happy with themselves

given the number of times they put their name on their product.

I've been thinking about buying a set in blue, I think it might look sharp with my black ZR-1 with Grey interior) send me PM with asking price and details.

"A business with no sign, is a sign of no business!" I think they are just proud of the product. I have them on my car.

I understand the reason for the writing and have ZERO problems with it.... I just like a clean engine compartment, not an advertisement for Mobile 1, Samco, Gates, Goodyear or anything other that 32 valves, 4 cams and Corvette...

Let me ask, has anyone cut a piece off that has the white writing on it? If you would be so kind to PLEASE take some lacquer thinnner on a rag to it and PLEASE let me know if it breaks the paint or whatever is down.

Thank You

Rick

Any idea what the lead time is for a set of the black Samco hoses from the registry page? I just checked and it showed none in stock.
