If you're after the bling factor samco gives you, just get some braided fuel hose with anodised end fittings...

Thinkauto should have what you want

Thanks guys

I didn't think it was

Do Thinkauto do braded hose 54mm I/D ?

That gonna be high cost! It'd be interesting to know how much! What about black rubber petrol hose and tape wrap to look like samco? Just a thought...

I'm not too botherd about looks, I only need 4 x 1" pieces to go between manifold and TB's

Ah... 2.25" fuel filler hose should fulfil your requirements....any of the usual motorsport / kit places should be able to supply that!

I'm doing the same but with 44mm ID. Have ordered from Europa, but it's been over a week now and they still haven't got it in.

Who said Samco hose won't resist petrol............because it will!!!

Just use samco hose between the two, no problem. If you are really worried, get the fluorolined silicone hose that they do at a slightly higher cost, this is even more fuel resistant.

rally design do it at very competitive prices (certainly cheaper than Europa)

Ring Highbury hose up and tell them what you want. They make it specifically for you and because you are going direct are about 40% cheaper than SAMCO and look identical!
