Hi I would like to spruce up my tired looking engine bay and wondered if anyone has a list of sizes for hose lengths and internal diameters for an SD1 Vitesse or even better knows where i could buy a set from, thanks

Hi Black Dog,

Are these what you are looking for?

Got to say that does look nice and shiny, but are you saying that you made them shiny or you bought them shiny ?

thing is i run the car everyday so i cant just take the pipes off and take them with me to the shop where they say they will match them... especially as the shop is 50 miles away !

I see all these nice engine bays but still cant seem to get hold of the pipes myself and got to say find it strange that places like Rimmer, V8 Dev and Roverpart dont do them

Hi Rich
thanks for that, would appreciate it.

No shes blue (not moonraker) from the Boston area, had her 22 years now

had a quick look round, basically its trim shine silicone stuff, i saw a silver vitesse on my way home from work the other morning so just wondered . Halfords should do the spray for shiney rubber. I put shiney rubber spray in the search and all strange sites came up, how the women got into them suits i will never know . if you want blue ones though its samco that do them rich

Thanks for that Rich,
I will steer clear of the .shiny rubber web sites ! and just go to Halfords me thinks

I tried Samco before but they want my pipes to match up and like I said the car is in use everyday so I cant really take them all off .

Dear Mr Dog
Whilst at Halfords get yourself some Amour all cockpit shine.
The stuff sprays on and you leave it a minute and then buff it up.
Not super shiney but a nice satin shine and it lasts for ages.
Use it on your tyres too.
cheers
Paul

Just to say thanks for your info should have thought of it myself really.

the old Black Dog learned a new trick .
