No affiliation, but for those interested, the copy of the original Top Radiator Hose with Stocking Finish is available from old Bill Tracy stocks here:

The fellow who bought Bill Tracy stock contacted me by coincidence, I was not aware that his stuff is still out there.

If you do fit one of these, be careful of the pressure rating of the header tank filler cap. This was increased in March '63 (as a step to lessen the chance of over-heating) to a 9lb blow-off pressure and a modified top radiator hose was introduced at the same time (Spares Bulletin N.3 relates).

I have this type of hose from Bill Tracy for my xk120 - I should probably add that it's rather hard, and would not expand like (probably) intended.
So, the cap might actually be from the later models...
