Grahamgl Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Gentlemen, I need a new top hose for my car. I seem to remember that someone was selling a much more flexible one, the spare I have is totally inflexible and only fit for the bin . Can someone recommend a supplier. Thanks Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi Graham, Pete Wigglesworth had new ones made a couple of years back. I'm not sure but they may be supplied by Moss. Give Pete a PM. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yes the hose is now distributed to the specialist network by British Motor Heritage. Sold under part number GRH 453. Moss I know have stocked and sold it. Identify it by the stockinette covering with 3 convolutions. It is made to the original Triumph factory drawing using reinforced EPDM hose rather than plain rubber. https://www.bmh-ltd.com/news/lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-consectetur-adipiscing-elit/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 TR shop sell silicone hoses, I have them on my TR. I like them a lot. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've got silicone hoses everywhere except the GRH453 top hose, it just looks right when you open the bonnet. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Got my set of silicone hoses from TR Shop. More flexible than the original style rubber and hopefully longer life too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 In an emergency years ago I got a top hose from the Massey Ferguson dealer in Montelimar France. The tractor hose got us out of a scrape. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
