Where do I buy radiator hose?

Can anyone tell me a good place to buy radiator hose? I'm gonna need straight bits, bends and t-pieces by the looks of things, anyone know of a good supplier?

halfords do flexible radiator hose in various lengths. I dont think they do t pieces etc

Merlin Motorsports have good selection. I got some Samco ones from them. Samco stuff bit pricy but good if you need to make up tricky shapes or need reducers.

Yeah I had a look at Merlin but they do look very expensive, is there anywhere that does cheaper stuff or is this just the going rate?

Scooby - try Hose Direct.. they do all types of Hose (Silicunt or convenshional) to order in a number of colours (Silicon only). They are very reasonably priced!

Cheers Hellfire, which type do I need to go for, is it Air + Water or Hydraulic?

i got tubes from europa, they do a wonderful flexible one called vulcoflex, you can tie it in knots without it kinking. I think this is the same as the halfords one. I need to find a 32/32/16mm copper t-piece myself, but once you have this then the vulcoflex hoses are perfect.

Cheers Joel, I had a look at their site and I think they'd probably be perfect. I'll need T-pieces as well soon but haven't finalised what sizes I need. I did see some in B&Q this afternoon but they look a bit too small I think, let me know if you find a good stockist

I'm sure there must be somewhere that sells T-pieces, I'm sure they must be a fairly common requirement.

Maybe someone else has used them and knows where to get them...?
