Spoke to Samco yesterday about this. The figures below are unofficial until I get the formal quotations (and some guesstimation on price is being made for the two heater matrix hoses), but indications are that I can offer the COMPLETE set of water hoses for £140-£160 inc VAT. Postage will be extra of course.
I'll repeat that - its an *informal estimate* at this stage based on seven hoses I supplied to them. If there are any nasty surprises with the last two hoses (which I doubt), or they try and slay me with excessive tooling charges then that figure may go up a little.
Bear in mind those two matrix hoses are an absolute hames to change - I guess they won't be of interest to most people... in which case the kit price could be lower.
And those of you without the aux radiator will need two less pipes as well, creating an even lower price.
I've given Samco specific instructions on how to reroute the main rad hose away from the inlet manifold based on measurements I took from my ABY. I'll get two sample sets of hoses made up (assuming we get enough interest as a group) for an ABY and 3B test fit, so I'll be looking for a 3B owning guinea pig for test fit duties.
Watch this space for more info. Many of you have waited patiently a long time for me to make real progress on this with Samco.

If you're looking for a guinea pig, I'll be your small furry rodent 
Nice! I wonder who has the Ken set to match......
