Replacing Hoses

[l_uk3y]

Hey Guys.

Hoping you might be able to help. Whilst engine bay is being stripped to bits im looking at replacing a lot of the larger rubber hoses for new as part of general maintanance, upgrading looks. Now i would like to upgrade to a nicer looking alternative but if i have to maybe just stock ones will.

Question being where to source diff hoses types, and what options i may have?

(I would love to use a braided line for the one over the rocker cover but there isnt enough room to get it around the tight bend.)

Photo for some examples. (The smaller point at the top right is referring to the long hose that connects around the circle then right angles towards the drivers side and heads down just below the plenum).

Cheers for any help.

Cant see pics but for the power steering hoses you can get standard hose from Pirtek. All that will be stiff and probably leaking on yours. 1 is the smaller hose and the other is larger diameter that feeds the pump..

This is near the power steer reservoir. There is also a small bit of it down near the rack that can leak.

The fuel hose is EFI, HP hose. Dont get the cheap stuff - Gates is about $20/m.. 8mm I think it is. You will need about 1m to do the one to the fuel filter and one from the filter out. There is also some near the fuel rail you will need. Maybe 2 metres all up

Radiator hoses:

http://mackayrubber.com.au/ or you can get gates one.

1 for the top and one for the bottom..
