Check out the Group buy section. They don't exist, but a group buy is in the early stages of organising these hoses.

They might be talking about the Samco group buy for ABY engines. It started off last summer and has only just delivered. It took ages because the kits are made from scratch. We supplied Samco with hoses and asked them to copy them. They then made a test set, we trial fitted them etc etc etc.
Its not an overnight job.
I'd be wary of someone telling you they have a set of Samcos for a 3B. They may have hoses that will "fit", but they won't have been made specifically for that car. They'll be a mix of other kits that probably won't fit properly.

What about 200tq kit made by samco originaly. Does it atleast fit partly ? SOme hoses should.

For the record, the reason it took a year (ish) for the ABY kit was no fault of Samco. There was a lot of delay getting the numbers up to a decent size and getting funds in place from everyone before I could place the order on Samco. They were just about right with their estimates on lead times for tooling and manufacture.
