    SFS already do a water hose kit for the S2 however the rights belong to Rotoryboy, I don't think you will be able to make another set via SFS as if they check their tooling it should already exist

      yes, they said they have the tooling for coolant pipes. said it was developed with another company but they dont advertise it, obviously for that reason.... but said they could do a batch if there was interest.

          So how are you going to do that?

          Are you giving them new water hoses to retool or going to try and run a batch of the the original tooling without Rotoryboy's permission?

          He's a forum member I'm sure he'll be interested in the outcome

            ok ok... well obviously nothing is going to happen now i know this. im not intending on annoying anyone or using stuff that other people own...what rights exactly are they though? i've pm'd Rotoryboy to ask anyway.

            not looking to rip anyone off, i just want a good set of performance hoses that are far better than samcos....

              And what is wrong with Samco hoses. I get no complaints. I know they are not cheapest but cannot fault the quality. This is to be expected in low volume build of anything like that.

                i just havent had the greatest of experience with samco, few pipes splitting etc but might be different with the application.

                      Hopefully we can resolve the issues here!

                      As for the s6 I'm not aware of a kit they produce but I can always ask.

                        I am interested in an ABY boost kit and maybe water too if the price is right (both in black) - but only if you can resolve the situation with Rotoryboy first!

                        As for the Samco vs SFS vs Roose debate - as long as they all do the job (and I have no reason to believe otherwise) and are all made of the correct stuff then it all comes down to cost vs delivery - do them cheaper and faster than Samco and you should get some takers

                        Cheers n

                          Rotorboy is happy to go ahead so will be starting an 'Official' hose group boy thread soon as prices are confirmed.

                          The boost kits may take a while as tooling etc will need to be made as soon as i get the pipes off mine.

                          are 3b and aby coolant pipes the same??
