69 RS hose kits
 

Are some better than others?..or are they all made by the same co. and re disributed thru all the re sellers?. Need to change out all the hoses as they are all splitting on the connectors..piece of cr@p hoses [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I replaced mine all with fuel line. Repos were garbage

My 1987 Hoses (repop) have had &quot;Splitting&quot; issues for years. They require constant trimming back as they age and fall off during driving from use and vibration. I was interested in some replacements but imagine from the feedback above nothing has changed from the mfr. vendors offering ',,,Your Key to a quality restoration,,&quot; One vendors company logo statement.
I have resorted to going to a local hobby shop and sourcing some thin(Brand K&amp;S) wall small od/id brass tubing and reamed the ID of the plastic &quot;T&quot; to allow insertion of a very short piece of tubing to &quot;NECK&quot; down the &quot;T&quot; to reduce the stretch required for the canister lines in hopes to slow down some of the splitting. I have noticed on my set up the lines from the T's to the canisters to be the worst offenders.

I would guess the aftermarket suppliers have NOT figured out that the hoses they sell are junk. I ran into this 10 years ago. I would use a silicone hose replacement if not a show car.

I bought my repop hoses back in 2003 and they all split where they connect on to a Tee or the tank or the actuators. What a pain

Re: 69 RS hose kits
 

I believe I have a bunch of repop hoses that I acquired from a guy who had a 1968 RS.

Let me know if you're interested Al....you can have it. I can bring it to MCACN.
