Does anyone know of where you can sourse the small bore rad hoses (6mm / 4mm) from. I have done a search and the only suggestion has been Pirtek, who I seem to think are hydraulic hose people?

I am in the process of refurbishing 2 ARs (so they look as good as possible for age) so have sourced most parts including these hoses.

Just purchased all the small bore rad hoses in correct 4 and 6mm id in 2m lengths, cotton braided like the original on ebay.

from planet-silicon and silicon-hose world

They are slightly smaller OD but look great.

Good to know- I searched for ages for these...:-0

Pirtek are the hydraulic hose people and are very pricey , But ive also found some of the lads on the vans like beer at the weekend are are willing to barter for beer tokens

helisupp- what did you search for on ebay to find these 4 and 6mm hoses- I can't find reference to them anywhere!?!

Me too.

I obtained about 1m length of 4mm braided carb hose from this company
http://www.pirtek.co.uk/.
Told the guy serving me it was for a bike and he would not accept any money for it!!

Thanks andrew- they have a distribuor near me, so I will check them out when I get back to the UK. DO you know if they sell the silicone radiator tubing too???
