Rally Design (RMD) silicone hoses
Any one with experience of these (good or bad?)
Seem quite good value with no premium (other than a long wait) for more obscure colours.

Used them for my car all good, mine are black as blue are chav especially on an impreza engine  it may be worth contacting eddie 99 as well as he
started stocking silicone hoses as well.

Yeah, had a look at them as you mentioned the name at the weekend, sadly they double the price for the special colours, which is a shame.

The RD hoses are good value.
My whole car is done with them and they were great.
The only niggle is true of all silicon hoses, in that, you must fit the exact radius, as bending them even slightly over the manufactured radius
causes them to collapse inward.

Thanks, that was going to be one of my other questions with regards to flexibilty. Is this true of the straight runs too?
Also, how tight are the radi of the bends? all companies seem to give a leg length from end of one pipe to the centre line of the perpedicular oposing
pipe.
I have a tight S bend to go from the base of the rad, over the steering rack to the pump, the radius is key to ensuring I can complete the bend
without catching the rack, and retain enough straight pipe to get a good clamping/seal. Its a 32mm pipe.

£50 for 1 metre of the orange flexi!
Sadly its not flexible enough to kink as tight as I need it to, but that stuff me be useful to link other areas (18mm bypass pipe, and top rad hose to
thermostat.
