#1 Original Weatherhead Fuel Hose

Post by heritageclassicsltd » Fri Apr 02, 2021 8:38 am

Does anyone know of a supply or have any NOS original nylon fuel hose? The aftermarket bright white hose doesn't look right on the car, nor can it be colour changed, it is what it is! The original hose I believe was marked Weatherhead 3/8, and was a light translucent cream colour.
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that the new whiteish nylon does not blemish and turn yellowish when ageing?
I have recently used the one offered by SNGB to replace one of my fuel hoses and expect it will evolve:
