Mk 2 series 2 heater hoses.

[ozzy]

Hi all.
Does anyone have or know where I can a get genuine a NOS heater hose or or better still hoses for a Mk 2 series 2 car? I have removed mine & fitted temporary ones so the original's could be used as patterns to have a batch of new ones remade. On inspection by the person commissioning the hoses to be remade it was found that although my car was fitted with an original hose routed from the head to heater matrix tube the other hose routed from the timing cover/water pump connection to heater matrix tube was infact a shortened Rootes Hillman Hunter hose & therefore about as much use as a chocolate cylinder head gasket or elastic timing chain as regards to a pattern! Any help will be much appreciated as the sooner I find a good pattern the sooner we can have some new hoses made that match the original's & I can fit them on my car & some will also be available for others that may require replacements. Thanks for reading Yours hopefully, Ozzy.

Hi Peter. I've had a look on there as well as all the other sites I thought may be relevant to heater hoses for the Mk 2 series 2 Cortina Lotus's but can't find anything along the right lines. Thanks for the suggestion though. I've just got to hope someone somewhere has got an original one of the O/S hoses in particular 'the side that goes to the water pump' that I can buy so we can use it as a pattern for some new ones to be made. Cheers, Ozzy.
