Silicone or rubber hoses
Just contacted a vendor to get a quote on reproducing hoses including PCV stuff.......are we interested in Silicone or rubber?
Looking to best prices from samco.

Re: Silicone or rubber hoses
Lee, here is my thinking.
If rubber is cheaper by 50% then i would not mind rubber,i figure if the stock stuff held up 10-15 years these should last at least half that. If the price for silicone will be a few dollars then silicone. Either way i will need a set or 2 or 3 or 4 or ?? depending on price and if we need to order x amount to get r done. Let me know. Pete

Re: Silicone or rubber hoses
I am going to send them an entire OEM kit.......
Is everyone happy with SAMCO or should I just go after the odd stuff.....F tube, F tube top, Breather hoses, etc.

Re: Silicone or rubber hoses
Here is my input. I would choose the original construction material.
I don't like the look of the Samco hoses on a ZR-1. The radiator inlet hose looks stretched to me (which it is because I had to stretch it to get it on there).  And I don't like the brand name stamped on the hoses. I would be in for 2 sets if they look original. Jim

Re: Silicone or rubber hoses
They will be using the originals to make the reproductions......they make silicon for Audi, VW, Subaru, etc.
I will see if they can do rubber OEM also
