[urq] Interest in reservoir-to-radiator hose??

Urq-listers,

I am in a bit of a bind.  My '82 radiator-to-reservoir hose is broken.
My dealer says this hose is NLA.  I tried to make a replacement out
of Aeroquip hose, but am having problems with the diameter change
between the radiator inlet and the reservoir output.  Plus, the
hose does not deal nicely with the bends required.  I am morally
opposed to cutting my car, so I don't want to retrofit a later-model
reservoir to it and use the later model hose.

034 Motorsports makes a nice silicon hose for the later model
cars.  It would only need a change to the reservoir end to fit the
earlier cars.  So I have asked Javad to make an "early" version of
that hose.  If you are interested in upgrading or think you may
need to purchase a replacement in the foreseeable future, can you
email 034 Motorsports and weigh in about it?   I felt there was a
reasonable market (i.e. more than me) as the basis for him to invest
in a batch of hoses, and I wanted him to see what that could be.

Disclaimer:  I have no financial interest in this deal nor in 034
Motorsports.  My vested interest in this is to buy a nice hose from
them to keep my Urquattro running.


Thanks,
Eric
