I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

 Like your style Pete
I did the same for a T piece - cost about £1 in bits from the local plumbers merchant. You also get the benefit of the larger section where the
solder lies, which if you clamp the hose behind it stops the hose slipping/blowing off the fitting.

You can get adaptors from 15mm to 8mm, that's what I used on the oil cooler fitting, who's going to see it when the bonnet's on is
my theory. All the lot cost under £4.

I got my silicone hose from Highbury Hose - which a few people on here have used. Prices are cheap and they seem to make to order which has benefits
when you want a bend that has a longer leg than the standard samco offerings. Even though they are made to order i ordered mine last wednesday and got
them on saturday.
Not sure what colours they do but I would be surprised if they didn't do a range. Best bet is to phone them.
If you must have Samco, Rally Design seemed to be cheapest. But they charge a lot for delivery.

First place I looked Marc! Your web site doesn't mention the 32 - 32 - 15 tee piece that I need, amongst other things.
