400PEL Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Retropower were doing silicon hoses for GTE and redtop,not sure about 18 hundred but worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 JS Performance are the manufactures of the hose kits that Retropower sell. It might be worth contacting them, not 100% sure if they made 1.8 hoses, but can't be too different to the XE engine. If you have the originals they can easily make you a set, my car was used to make the XE hoses that are now used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another company started from a shed at their parents home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
