WTD: 32-25mm reducing hose.
I am after a couple of 32-25mm reducing hoses to connect my cooling system pipework to the rad. I have found these are readily available in silicon
hose but I want some in normal rubber and black in colour. Is this something a local motor factor would have or any ideas where to get some.

Scrap yard.
I've got all my hoses for a Pinto to Polo rad from the scrap yard and not had to pay for any!
I've found a 41mm to 32mm reducer, 32mm to 25mm reducer and 32mm/25mm/32mm tee just through visiting three Bolton scrap yards.
I can definately remember pulling hoses off an E300 Merc (F-reg vintage), Primera (S-reg vintage), Megan Scenic (02 vintage), but most were picked up
off the floor next to the engine, scrap metal and trim skips.
I went in looking for a Daihatsu alternator and small expansion tank, but couldn't find any so I think they felt sorry for me and let me off the
hoses.

I am in the same situation as yourself and cant seem to find any (went to the local motor factors and all they do is straight with a max ID of
25mm).
Currently looking at getting an aluminium reducer from CBS and building from there.
Saying that I am still in the planning stage and things may still change. My problem at the moment is deciding how to tee in the 13mm pipe from the
oil cooler
