Hi guys just thought I would ask the question if anyone has a lower radiator hose , the long one that goes from the water pump to the radiator. Tried Adrian but he does not have any.
Cheers Chris

I was hoping to get an original and was even thinking of sending the old one away to be remade possibly in black silicone but this will be an expensive option as a tool will need to be manufactured first.

i bought a bottom long hose from "David gerald"
'sales@davidgeraldtvr.freeserve.co.uk'
not cheap but very good quality. I also cut a length of old one and split it to go round the outside of new to stop it rubbing on the suspension

Unfortunately David Gerald is no longer as Tvr parts have taken over. I have contacted them but they haven't been able to find any in the stock of parts they got from DG.

Do you mean you sent an E-mail or spoke to Doug at DG's about a bottom hose.
Maybe i bought the last one on 4th Nov 2014.
My last contact with Doug was on 18th March 2015 this year for a Swirlpot for my 3000S.
Could you tell me the contact détails for the new supplier "TVR Parts" who has taken over.
I hope they give as good service as "Doug" chez DG's

Best of luck Alan.

As you can see from their site they don't show any cars before the PW era Griffith......

Chris,
I have an unused bottom hose in the garage somewhere Chris that I no longer have any use for. I will take a peek over the weekend and its yours when I find it.

Unfortunatley John does not have the pipe anymore so back to the search I had a look at the link provided by GPW41 but this appears to be the wrong one for my car. So if anyone has any ideas I would be very gratefull.
