quote havealucky:
I have a used one in my shop. I too was thinking it would be nice to have it repro’d but don’t know what the demand would be or how one would go about it.
Considering that 60s Rolls Royce, Jaguar, MG, Mini and others use the same hose and it is not available to anyone for concourse restoration, the demand is high.
I talked to a Jag shop and the guy told me he gets several calls a month from people looking for the proper hose.
I would cut up the hose and send it to several manufactures to see who can perfectly reproduce it. I am looking at at least 1000′ being made and then providing it to these vintage auto part suppliers to include Sunbeam Specialties.
Some good money could be made. I could sure use that hose of yours. 😉
