MG MGB Technical - Supplier of Prpoer Radiator Hoses -

Has anyone in the US found a good supplier for proper radiator hoses. I am currently using some from Moss and the Roadster Factory and they are nothing like the originals. The bellows shape is very subtle when compared to the originals. I am also looking to avoid the Kevlar hoses that have been supplied - I found that these were very rigid and tended to split in a fairly short time.

I'll post a photo of the hoses so you can see what I am talking about.

When I was driving MGs in the 1970s, I never would have thought that heater valves, radiator hoses, steering rack bellows, rotor arms, and wiper blades would be such problem parts! How is it that we have superchargers for these cars - but poor quality replacements for the parts mentioned.

Oh well,

Jeff
