I noticed in Ed's for sale thread he has Mishimotor silicone radiator hoses. I can't find a listing for GVR4 fitment. Did he use a 1g or Evo 3 set? Any other makers out there?

I vaguely recall discussion on this many years ago. Considering this a possibility for 855. Thanks.

I know who makes the e39a specific kit, but it's from jp so be prepared to pay. I have a set NIB I've been meaning to install but may sell. If you want to order a set from jp lmk.

I know it sounds bad, but I got mine from ebay. click These ones to be exact. They are very good quality, I have compared them to a Mishimoto one I had for my civic, and its the same thickness and looks like the same material. Plus it comes with a 5 year warrenty. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

^^ How well did they fit on the Galant since they appear to be 1g specific?

I had to trim the upper hoseby about 6" or so, but all the rest went on without any issues. I have yet to install the heater hoses, but all the other ones fit where they should.

I thought 1G hoses will fit with a little wiggle and some trimming.

Quoting idreamidrive:
finally found the company: RTM Racing up in Canada, eh

click



Upper and lower hoses show in stock, but not the complete kit as of the post.

If you want more, just ask Ziggy. He and Paul would know if more could be brought in, or this was part of a one time group deal.

Many great products were short run, car site GB's. Nothing in CF that I can recall ...

Samco #TCS329/C fits just like OEM:

Matt black is the "samco classic" variant - standard colour would be the usual samco blue.

Just a heads up on silicone hoses. They are more porous that rubber and will lose coolant over time. Not sure how much, but if you start seeing less coolant in your system and you can't find a leak, this is the reason.
