March 10, 20196 yr comment_570605 I've dealt with these folks for 'Continental'-brand cloth-braided coolant hose (full range of sizes available)... Bel-Metric - Tyngsboro, MA https://www.belmetric.com/braided-metric-hose-oem-c-14_138/?zenid=l8q6rc5k16gtctsfllf89onb23 Priced per meter (i.e. if you order 1.3 meters, you pay for 2 meters) The molded radiator and master-vac hoses are always going to be a challenge, unfortunately. They are available but, as Patcon notes, they are expen$ive (esp. the rad hoses). You might be able to fake the master-vac hoses by bending and fitting metal-tube inserts inside the rubber hose (my notes say that the fittings are 10mm OD, so a properly clamped 9mm hose should work, maybe with a bit of sealant for insurance).

February 16, 20241 yr comment_662103 They all come from JDM. Jay is the only one to go to the expense and bother to reproduce cloth braded coolant, booster and valve cover breather hoses.

February 25, 20241 yr comment_662451 Would anyone please post a close-up photo of the texture of one of the jdm-car-parts.com reproduction hoses. All their photos of the reproduction hoses do not show the weave texture. The OEM sold via jdm-car-parts.com and MSA have a wider weave. Resurrected Classics hose close-up photo of the texture on the website have tight weave: Thanks, Keith Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61768-cloth-braided-heater-hose/?&page=2#findComment-662451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 25, 20241 yr comment_662454 ZED2, you don't need to worry about the accuracy of Jay's hoses as they have appeared on all of the Gold Medallion winners I've been involved with. PS I have NOS Datsun windshield and NOS Datsun back light gaskets for 520/521 trucks for sale.
