Looking for a NZ source for silicon coolant hoses.

Post by Mad Kiwi » Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:49 pm

Hi Guys

In the middle of my coolant reroute and decided to replace heater hoses etc. I can get them from the US but really want a closer source (with price not being to disadvantages I might add) but primarily speed of supply is the main goal.

Anyone suggest anywhere to try?

Problem is customs are nailing my arse these days with tax etc and I was hoping to get done for a track day next friday, that would be pushing the time table harder than i would like...

Might just go rubber for the meantime.

Thanks anyway.

For reference, North Shore Mazda sell the rubber heater hoses for $21.00 each.

Also ordered the CAS seal @ $13.00.
