340 1.4 Radiator Hoses

[340man]

Would someone be kind enough to guide me to a supplier of these?

I seem to remember that someone was going to manufacture new silicone ones.

Thanks.

Upper or lower? They are available. We found some on the interwibble, but you have to check the pictures very carefully. Despite some suppliers telling you that a Jaguar radiator hose fits a 340, they're not correct.

Tried Braydon motors?

Thanks, I did have a quick search on the internet, but did not come up with much. The hose is for a neighbour's car, a very nice 1.4 Auto, not sure which hose. Makes me think I should get some spare hoses for my 1.4 GL Manual.

Thanks, just sent a message to Braydon asking about top and bottom hoses.

Take a look at www.born-built-beauties.eu, they hold an extensive list of coolant hoses for the 340 and 360.
The nice thing is that the BBB hoses are all new production items, not 20 year old NOS.
Stock for them is held by a.o. Mr. "Mollusk" (Mac's allias on this forum) and others like Braydon Motors in the UK.

I must apologise for not joining this thread before (but I have been unwell and "off" the forum for a little while.)

I either stock (in the UK) or can get the whole range of BBB products.

I also carry my own range of 300 parts - see link -

In addition I stock front strut spring lower seat repair panels (Klokkerholm).

They're not, the original rubber compounds were used to get them reproduced, taking modern technical specs into consideration.
