Did you get any 610 hoses?

It is about time these were made!!! You still running the duct tape on your boost hose john

Yep, holding like a 'guddan but does need changing! The standard hoses aren't available any more so do need the samco ones. Only been waiting 2 years.

I guess still no A610 then? looks like my long term loan was a bit of a waste

I know the boys at forge mototrsport very well so i will see if i can get a batch knocked up, but i know they will want a few takers to make it worth their while.

They are measured and ready to go (have been for some time) but really 10 people need to commit otherwise the price will just be stupid. Main boost hose is already done (same as GTA).

I also have originals for all the A610 coolant hoses as well which is important as there is no new RHD stock left now for at least one main hose.

Other than Me, Mr Dini & Mr Folly I am struggling to get people to commit.

If we can get 5 committed we may be able to make some progress.

Have you tried to market them on the continent ? Mr Holt or the GTA butcher have lots of Euro contacts .

Surely like Lee says, the UK cars aren't the only ones which have knackered hoses? Do the Euro 610 guys have a source for their hoses or are they just all waiting for the RAOC to get Samco jobs made too?

I definately need some though.

Stephen....are Samco Coolant Hoses available for the Atmo?

Sadly the front A610 coolant hoses are RHD specific, so we are on our own.
I don't need any now, but might buy a set depending on the final figure.

Hard to market without a photo of the product and like all things Alpine no one wants to pay any money for them.

Hoses are only just starting to fail on A610 so maybe market is about to expand rapidly! And yes some of the hoses are RHD specific.

Not all of them. The two main rear coolant hoses were never copied. The turbo ones fit but look stupid as they bend round a distributor which isn't there. Another company has made the full set though. Again I have patterns ready for Samco if enough people want them.

Iwould be in for a set mr dell, so add my name to the list,

We all know how long Samco take to make up orders.

I bumped into these guys at Silverstone Classic this year. Got the feeling that they were very geared up to help with smaller runs of hoses. Maybe worth giving them a call and see what they could do for Atmos, Turbos, A610s etc. The quality looked good and prices seemed reasonable (as far as I can remember).

Thanks for that Jon, they seem to have a set, or part set, for the Atmo ....but I wonder if Stephen can check from his records if this is, in fact, the full set?
